#4467: Contact alias editing in conv window doesn't catch edge case
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: idangazit | Owner: lschiere

----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Observed using '''Pidgin 2.3.1''' on '''Windows Vista'''
'''Steps to reproduce:'''
1. Open a conversation window with a contact.
1. Double click the contact name. The contact name will become a single,
editable word
1. Click on the buddy icon at the right.
1. You'll end up with the editable alias name on the left and the
"normal" contact display + status and away-icon on the right, as if
they're sharing the Gtk Box.
This isn't destructive, and you can make the editable alias name on the
right go away by selecting it and typing the escape button, but it seems
confusingly non-intuitive, suspect that this is just an unforseen case.
IMHO, the "alias editing" mode needs a visual cue that you can edit the
alias. When this happened to me (by mistake) I had no idea what was going
on, and I'm about as experienced a user as they come.
Let me know if a screenshot/screencast would be useful -- `idan at
