Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
Someone just sent me an instant message with the username kward555. I knew who it was, so I went to "Add buddy...", typed in that username, and added an alias, "Kevin Ward". A message came up in the existing window that said "kward555 is now known as kward555". I think what it meant to say was "kward555 is now known as Kevin Ward". Indeed, the window title had changed to "Kevin Ward".
My guess is that this is a trivial bug to fix.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.
