#13751: characters typed in front of hyperlinks stick to them
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  doublep  |        Type:  defect      
  Status:  new      |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)
 Version:  2.7.11   |    Keywords:  ui usability
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
 In certain protocols (ICQ in my case) URLs in the input area are
 highlighted, i.e. are blue, underlined and clickable.  When you type after
 such an URL, the text doesn't become part of it.  However, if you type
 _before_ an URL, newly inserted text is considered by Pidgin as part of
 the URL.

 To reproduce:

 1) copy a URL from your browser into the input area; it will be
 highlighted:
 ***http://developer.pidgin.im/newticket***

 2) press [home] key and type something; the new text will be highlighted
 as a part of the link:
 ***see: http://developer.pidgin.im/newticket***

 Expected is, instead:
 see: ***http://developer.pidgin.im/newticket***

 I guess this is caused by wrong stickiness of a text tag in GTK+ backend.
