Comment (by bob_the_normal):

 Just adding, I also still have this problem.

 I haven't tried messing around with it much, but I am ALWAYS idle, even
 when I send messages. Restarting the computer or pidgin does not change
 this behavior at all... some people appear to need to take certain steps
 to cause it, it is just always there for me.

 As someone else noted though, having 'Change status on idle' checked seems
 to affect it. What's funny is, this bug existed in much older versions of
 GAIM and Pidgin, but after a few Pidgin releases, it disappeared. I put
 off updating for a long time and, when I did (because of memory leaking
 issues with old versions), the problem suddenly reappeared. Very annoying
 problem, since people either think I'm purposely using the program to hold
 myself in Away, or (if I turn idle status off) as constantly Online.

 Hope this gets resolved!
