"insert image" works from menu but not drag & drop

[Chris Roddy]

Binary package hint: pidgin

When using a Direct IM connection on the AIM protocol, I can reliably insert images using the Conversation -> Insert Image... menu option and people on the other end tell me that the image appears in the chat window.

When I drag an image from my desktop to the IM window and select the Insert Image option, people on the other end tell me without exception that it appears as blank.

(I hope they are not winding me up.)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Do you get the same with Lucid or Maverick? Thanks in advance.
