Description of problem: Previously in RHEL4, I was able to use Alt+A to toggle my away message. Currently I can not set my status to "Away" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): XChat 2.6.6 xchat-2.6.6-8.el5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the xchat client log into a server a then try and set your user to be away Actual results: Can set user to status Away Expected results: Alt+A should toggle user away status Additional info:
This one is strange. I tried downgrading my XChat on my Fedora 7 to xchat-2.6.6-8.el5.i386.rpm from CentOS and Alt+A worked just fine (de_AT.UTF-8 locale here in case that matters). It also works fine in the Fedora 7 package.

Kevin, That was it! I added some text to the feild and then it started working. Thanks for the leg work. I had looked on the news groups but never ran across that post. Jeff
