 Original description:

 Dangerously placed next to Save As... in the Conversation menu, Clear
 Scrollback (Ctrl-L) cannot be undone, though there is a high risk for
 accidental selection of this item when trying to save the scrollback e.g.
 on mobile devices with imprecise trackpoints/-pads or certain
 touchscreens.

 Therefore it should have an "Are you sure?" dialog (possibly with the
 option of disabling the latter for the future).

 Otherwise, only the most experienced users will be able to immediately
 salvage texts lost this way from RAM nonetheless e.g. by something like
 sudo strings /proc/kcore | grep -B 100 -A 20 recent_unique_keyword



 It was reported against pidgin 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2.1, but it seems to be the
 same for 1:2.5.2-0ubuntu1.
