Created attachment 1665299 [details] Fix backport. Description of problem: Freeze (infinite loop) when pasting long link https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/16841 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pidgin-2.13.0-15.fc31.x86_64 gtk2-2.24.32-6.fc31.x86_64 How reproducible: Rarely, once a week, I do not have an exact reproducer. Steps to Reproduce: Chat in Pidgin, paste URL, edit the text a bit. Actual results: Lockup. Expected results: No lockup. Additional info: The proper solution would be to build against gtk3 - I have filed Bug 1805152. But one could rather fix gtk2 backward compatibility anyway. The fix is untested (given I have no reproducer for the lockup) but it looks to me obvious enough. I did see the lockup in this code loop with GDB.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '31'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

still valid: pidgin-2.14.1-2.fc33.x86_64 It is very annoying. But the fix probably requires just to use the trunk 3.0 version which uses gtk3.
