#14251: [CRASH] Nyan Cat YouTube link crashes pidgin
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  Neo139  |        Type:  defect      
  Status:  new     |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)
 Version:  2.6.6   |    Keywords:  crash,nyan

 I know this looks like a joke but it isn't.
 Every time I pasted this youtube link:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4
 in the message textbox, pidgin crashed (it crashed even before pressing
 enter)
 The strange thing is that this didn't happened with any other link.
 So I try to type the link and pidgin crashed just after typing the -
 (dash) of the link. But I also tested with other YouTube links that have
 dash and it didn't crashed.
 I had libnotify plugin enabled (this one is default), so I disabled it.
 restart pidgin, and it still crashed (without any plugins)
 After reproducing the crash several times I recorded a video so that
 people don't think this is some kind of joke:
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw_u0Un0cZs
 In the video you can see that I have pidgin 2.6.6, no plugins, and that it
 crashed just after pasting the link, before pressing enter.

 I saw the debug log and it named prefs.xml at the end of the file, so I
 renamed it prefs.xml.old and forced pidgin to create a new one and it stop
 crashing. So I thought there was something in that file that made pidgin
 crash with that link.

 Then I copy prefs.xml.old and paste it as prefs.xml and open pidgin and
 couldn't reproduce the crash in the exactly same conditions as it used to
 crash.
 I attach the prefs.xml.old and debug.log
 I'm sorry I don't have a Backtrace. I read about the backtrace just after
 renaming prefs.xml to prefs.xml.old
 It's kind of useless to install the debugging symbols right now because I
 can't reproduce it anymore.
