1. First of all, a note: you have many files there - including those that are
owned by root - with world-writable permissions - -rw-rw-rw. Why? That is a bad
security practice.

2. Can you try to temporarily rename ~/.purple (NOTE: DO NOT delete it) and
see if the problem persists? If not, you can try bisecting the appropriate
configuration under there. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bisection_%28software_engineering%29

3. Can you check to see whether it happens in a new UNIX user?

4. What is your distribution and version?

5. Why did you compile and build pidgin from source? Doesn't your distribution
have a package?

One thing I could never understand is why in Microsoft Word, it often happens
that I press enter… and the font changes.
