Component:  unclassified  |         Version:  2.5.5

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When using quick search in Windows (Such as your focus is on the buddy
 list and you start typing the name of a buddy to find his entry on the
 buddylist), Pidgin won't let you switch focus to an IM window until after
 the quick search dialog is gone.

 Clicking on a non-pidgin window switches focus.
 clicking on the IM on the taskbar switches focus
 just not clicking directly on the IM window while the buddylist has focus
 and the quick search thing is active.

 Steps to reproduce::

 have an IM and your buddy list open
 give the buddy list focus by clicking on the top of the window, but not
 doing anything too special
 start typing on the keyboard while leaving the mouse alone.
 let the characters you type stay in the quick search box thing
 use your mouse, without pressing enter or anything else on the keyboard,
 to click on the IM window you had opened in the first step
 Focus should remain on the buddylist.
 done.


 Let me know if I can help more.
