Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu and Pidgin better. Can you please answer the following questions which will help us find and resolve the problem:

* Is this reproducible?
* If so, what specific steps should we take to recreate this bug?

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

In addition to the above inquiry, are you trying to rename an account that is enabled/online? In the latest version of Pidgin (2.7.0), an active or online account cannot be renamed because the text box is disabled.

[Michal Dziczkowski (mdziczkowski)]

it seems that you has misread my report comment... I haven't typed that I want to rename my IM account, but an account on my contact list

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

I guess what you mean is "rename a contact on your buddy list." That could be a clearer description?
I can't replicate it with Pidgin 2.7.0 on an Ubuntu 10.03 machine. Can you try this on the latest version and confirm if it still a problem? If yes, you might as well report or forward this bug report upstream. Thank you

This bug happens quite rare, so it's hard to reproduce it. For now Pidgin is working correctly in this matter (testing now on Ubuntu 10.04)

[J. Austin Rodriguez (jeanaustinr)]

Thanks Michal and good to know that it's so far working correctly.. I haven't had any troubles with Pidgin since upgrading.

I will close this report for now according to last messages is working fine under latest release included in Lucid, if you encounter that this issue reappears please reopened again. Thanks!
