Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin-otr
Using pidgin-otr 3.2.0-5, pidgin 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu2 on maverick.
The AIM Blast feature is provided by AIM as a "chat room" feature, similar to an invite-only IRC channel. It appears in your buddy list as a single user, just like any other AIM account. However, if you make changes to the OTR settings specific to that blast - for example, to disable automatic initiation of OTR, they will not be saved between sessions.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Right-click on AIM blast, choose OTR Settings
2) Uncheck Use Default OTR Settings for this buddy"
3) Uncheck "Enable Private Messaging" (All checkboxes should either be empty or greyed out at this point)
4) Select Ok
5) Sign off of the AIM account associated with the blast
6) Sign on to the AIM account associated with the blast
7) Check OTR settings again - they will not be saved, and Use Default OTR Setting for this buddy will be checked again
It is expected that these settings will be saved and not revert back when you sign back on to the AIM account. These settings are saved with other AIM buddies, but do not save with blasts.
