#7485: History Plugin not fully compatible with new Pidgin feature -- does not
auto scroll to bottom of IM window

 Version:  2.5.2  |    Keywords:         
------------------+---------------------------------------------------------
 Conversation window does not scroll to bottom automatically when new
 message is received if "Close IMs immediately when the tab is closed"
 preference is not checked AND History plugin is enabled (AND you had
 previously closed that conversation window).

 If you are having a conversation, then close the window, then your buddy
 IMs you again within a few minutes (or if you IM the same buddy again),
 the previous conversation re-opens with this feature enabled (it is
 "enabled" when the checkbox is off). There is an annoying bug wherein you
 have to scroll to the bottom of the IM "log" for the current conversation
 in order to see the newest message.

 It appears that the History plugin functions such that it automatically
 scrolls to the end of the previous (not current) conversation (more
 specifically, to the separator that it places just after the old log). It
 should simply scroll to the bottom instead. This will account for the new
 feature introduced to Pidgin wherein the IM window does not have to be
 closed immediately.

 Apologies if this is not the correct place to report this bug. I'm not
 sure if these plugins are "official" or what?
