Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin
When the satus goes to Away after some idle time, Pidgin changes my status message without user's permisson, without allowing to choose the message, and in a language the user's contacts do not necessarily understand.
From Tools -> Preferences -> Status/Idle
I have:
Auto/Away [check]
Minutes [choose]
Change status [check]
Change status to [choose]
However, I cannot choose which status message it will enforce on my accounts, or to just disable it.
My contacts see a "I'm not here right now", which sound ridiculous for most of my contacts, to which I speak in a language rather than English.
1. There is no menu entry to disable or change that message.
2. After I touch the mouse or the keyboard, the status is restored this status message persists.
