Component:  AIM                     |   Version:  2.5.1

 == Description ==

 When I copy some formatted text from Google Chrome and paste it into my IM
 conversation, my friend gets a blank message instead.  The text appears
 correctly to me in the send box and the conversation.  It appears to only
 happen with Google Chrome and AIM; text copied from my mail client and
 Firefox worked fine; and text copied from Chrome and sent to my friend's
 Google Talk account also worked fine.

 == Versions ==

 I'm using Google Chrome 0.2.149.30 and Pidgin 2.5.1.  My friend is using
 the official AIM client 6.8.12.4 and the online
 [http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/client Google Talk gadget].  His
 AIM client is as-is out of the box, no themes or plugins or whatever the
 official AIM client supports these days.  I have the History, Ignore,
 Release Notification, and Pidgin Encryption plugins enabled.  I'm not
 using the encryption plugin with this conversation.


 == Steps to reproduce: ==
 * Open Google Chrome[[BR]]
 * Navigate to a page like [http://lifehacker.com/5064878/bumptop-beta-in-
 action?t=8386795#viewcomments this one][[BR]]
 * Copy some text from the page, e.g. "This is what the world was waiting
 for! Now we can have a mess on our desks AND our desktops! Now i only need
 to be able to pile up messages on my mobile..."[[BR]]
 * Paste the text into a conversation[[BR]]
 * Send the text as a message[[BR]]
 * Ask your recipient if they received the message[[BR]]

 I can also report this as a bug on the
 [http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list Google Chrome dev site] if
 necessary.

 Thanks!
