moving a buddy to another group caused deleting the buddy

[Peter Lences]

Binary package hint: pidgin

I created a new group and moved a buddy to the new group. A new window was opened. It was the window-authorization request- that opens if you add a new buddy where there is a message 'Please authorize me!'. Well then, it wants to send authorization request, but I do NOT want to send another authorization request-I've alread asked for authorization when I added the buddy for the first time. That's why I click 'Cancel' button. Then the buddy is deleted-it's not in none of the groups. This way I got rid of some of my buddies:'( Of course I had expected this will just move the buddy from a group to a group, without any other authorization request and of course without deleting the buddy...
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 (actually this happened to me also in Kubuntu the former version)
I'm using Pidgin version Installed: 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2

Hi,
is this issue still present in an up-to-date system? If so, please tell us which version of ubuntu and pidgin (apt-cache policy pidgin) you are using.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
the last time I was moving a buddy from group to group this iisue was not
present. I haven't come across this, I suppose it should be okay now.

This bug is related to http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5856 and http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5461 (5856 is a dupe of 5461).

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.

Hi,
unfortunetely I'm not using Pidgin for quite a long time now, so I can't tell you if the issue is still present.
