 When I search for a friend in my friends list pidgin locks up and won't
 let me click on it or do anything until I minimize the window and then
 maximize it again, then it starts working.

 '''Steps:'''

  1. Start Pidgin
  1. Open the buddy list
  1. Start typing a friends name so that the friend your looking for gets
 highlighted
  1. Observe how you cannot click on any friends now or do anything except
 for minimize the buddy list.

 I understand its not a deal breaker but its kind of annoying when trying
 to search for friends. I basically have to memorize the location of that
 friend, then minimize, maximize and locate that friend manually.

 Im using Vista32 business at work and Vista64 Ultimate at home and on both
 of these machines the problem occurs. I can't seem to reproduce the
 problem on XP.

 I have 2 aim accounts, 2 yahoo accounts, 1 gmail account, and 1 ICQ
 account running at once.
