From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040124 Galeon/1.3.12 Description of problem: There are times when sending a message that a second <enter> is required to actually send it. Sure, when one cuts-and-pastes text from elsewhere, this is not only ok, but preferred. But sometimes, outta the blue, you hit <enter> and nothing happens. Now, this isn't some exotic segfault or other showstopper, but it's just a typical bug that creeps in. I'd be happy if I saw resolution in a year. If it threw away the message randomly, that'd be different. But in the interest of completion, I make it available. I'm sorry I have so little to go on; if you'll suggest debugging or logging that might shed some light on the problem, I'd be happy to try it out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gaim-0.75-0 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run Gaim normally. "Enter sends messge" is turned on. "Control-Enter sends message" is off. (I think this is the default.) 2.Sending a message, randomly 'ignores' the depressing the enter key, and I have to hit it a second time, or I click the send button. Actual Results: Sometimes it ignores the enter-key. (This is kinda redundant, aye?) Expected Results: Each and every time the enter key is pressed inside the IM window, it should send whatever has been typed so far. Additional info:
I've seen this too (and it's annoying) but it's probably something we're not going to fix downstream. I suggest that you try to have it fixed upstreadm.
