Bug Description
Pidgin hangs when pasting http:// or https:// URLs into the text entry field. Can't kill it, must kill -9 the process.
Steps to reproduce:
- open chat window to a jabber/xmpp contact
- type "http://
- focus on chat window, Ctrl-V paste
What I expect:
The text appears in the chat window, and the chat window still response to keyboard/mouse input.
What I see:
Text does not appear, pidgin stops responding to any input, maybe even stops updating its windows.
Other info:
Doesn't hang if I use `xclip -selection clipboard -i <<<"https:/
Saw this in the `pidgin -d` debug logs:
```

```
Might be Gtk misbehaving with clipboard data, and pidgin goes catatonic dealing with a bad message from Gtk?
