#14691: Pidgin crash when pasting a particular string into a chat box.

 Reporter:  starshine531  |     Owner:  rekkanoryo
     Type:  defect        |    Status:  new       
Component:  unclassified  |   Version:  2.9.0     
 Keywords:                |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Steps to reproduce:

 Open a chat window, copy and paste the following into the chat box:

 CustomerID,TestNo,TestDate,PrintDate,SterilizerID,ModelCode,Result,CustomerName,Address1,Address2,City,StateCode,ZipCode,PhoneNumber,Email,BoxNum,Expdate,TestCount,StripQty,AgentCode,StatusDesc

 Pidgin then stops responding.

 Some notes about this:
 If I add a space to the middle of this string, it doesn't fail.
 If I separate it into 3 lines, it doesn't fail.
 If I type, copy, and paste a different, long, comma-separated string of
 variables (variable1,variable2,etc) of equal length, it doesn't fail.
 But, if I paste that string in, it stops responding every time.

 This is not a huge problem since it's easy to work around, but it could
 expose some defect in the program that hasn't been addressed.  Thus, I'm
 reporting it.
