Edit after cut&paste of URLs doesn't work

[Ralf Hildebrandt]

I used cut&paste to copy an URL into a pidgin window containing a chat using the SIP: protocol.
I then manually edited the URL, and pressed return

Several tests with the receiver of the message showed that the subsequent manual edits to the URL are being discarded

Example:

Cut & paste of
http://www.google.de/ig?hl=de
to the SIP chat,
remove the training "ig?hl=de", press return.

My own window shows:
http://www.google.de/
the receiver still gets:
http://www.google.de/ig?hl=de

This ONLY happens via SIP:, switching to a jabber transport works just fine.

It only happens with URLs, normal text is not affected.

I tried with pidgin-sipe_1.11.2-1_amd64.deb from oneiric (on the sending side): same issue

Updating pidgin-sipe to the version in oneiric also doesn't help:
pidgin-sipe_1.11.2-1_amd64.deb still exposes the same behaviour.
