 Hi. When using Pidgin, I came across four issues that are not of much
 concern, but at the same time, prove inconvenient.

 The first is the scroll bars. All of the scroll bars in Pidgin do not
 depress when clicked. Like I said, its a minor issue, but it is
 inconvenient when I don't know if I've clicked it properly. It's more of a
 cosmetic issue.

 The second issue is the text bar in chat windows. It does not stop
 flashing when other windows are in focus. This can commonly lead me to
 start typing a response to a message thinking that my cursor is in the
 text box of the chat window, when in fact I still have the other window in
 focus. This can cause issues if the window has keystroke-sensitive
 functions.

 Another issue I came across was when I mouse over a contact's screen name
 and their info comes up. When I go to view, say my web browser, the info
 box is still there. I have to mouse over it to get it to disappear.

 One last issue occurs when clicking tabs in a chat window to switch chats.
 When I click on a tab, it selects the name inside the tab. This causes me
 to have to click the text box to be able to reply to the person.

 That is all of the issues I have. Sorry for the list. I hope it helps keep
 Pidgin the best IM-client service out there! Keep up the good work!
