 Reporter:  pH5             |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new             |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  libpurple       |    Version:  2.2.0 
 Keywords:  utf-8 escaping  |    Pending:  0     
----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 Since I upgraded my Debian pidgin packages to 2.2.0 pidgin shows the
 following behaviour:
 I have a group named "友達" (UTF-8) in my .purple/blist.xml. When pidgin is
 loaded, it displays that group and an additional copy of this group named
 "友達", which is also saved to blist.xml.
