Comment 5 for bug 982956

My steps to reproduce:

Open Empathy Contact List (click Chat on messaging menu)
Open a Conversation window to one of my contacts
Press Alt key to open the HUD
Type "Pref"

Multiple entries are displayed, none of which are the "Edit > Preferences" option for the Empathy preferences. It doesn't matter whether I use the mouse or keyboard to select an option, I'm unable to get to the Empathy preferences.

If I change the search string in HUD to "Prefer", I only see 2 "Preferences" options - one for Dropbox and one for indicator-multiload, both of which are running as indicator apps (i.e. by the clock on the top right, I think I have the name right).
