Description Jan Kratochvil 2020-02-24 04:48:52 UTC 
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.
