Comment (by FatButtLarry):

 Still exists in '''2.4.3.'''

 I've found type ahead especially useful for long buddy lists, or buddy
 pounces for known away buddies (since away buddies can be in the
 hundreds).

 I also use this at work, since the list can be long some days.

 The '''libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll''' work-around is still golden, although I'm
 a bit hesitant to recommend Pidgin to Windows users with this default
 behavior.

 Anything that locks the GUI can cause frustration, and I'd hate to make
 that a first impression. :)

 For now, I'm keeping around a spare '''libgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll''' for
 upgrades.

 I'm still using the original download suggested by witmaster:

 Thanks for an excellent product (and providing us "users" with an
 excellent bug tracker).
