 Reporter:  spoof                                      |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                                        |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)                               |    Version:  2.4.0

 Instructions for reproduction:[[BR]]
 1. Put focus on Contact List (for example select one of your buddies with
 the mouse pointer or just click on an empty space)[[BR]]
 2. Hit TAB to switch to Status Menu[[BR]]
 3. Hit TAB again to try and return to the Contact List (without selecting
 a status or anything) -- won't work.

 #3843 was closed and considered fixed. I'm sorry if I'm doing something
 I'm not supposed to here, but the ticket was closed before I had time to
 comment.

 The problems described in #3843 are not fixed for me, running latest
 version of Pidgin -- 2.4.0 -- under Ubuntu 7.10 and Gnome 2.20.1. Is it
 because I don't have the latest software (GTK or Gnome or whatever) that
 this bug persists? To me it just seems like "the tab ring" or whatever it
 should be called, is not closed (if that makes sense, I haven't looked at
 the code).

 If this is really fixed in 2.4.0, maybe someone with enough patience and
 knowledge on this issue could let me know what to do to... "enable" the
 fix.
