Details
Bug occured in "pidgin"
Description: When users tries to send a message containing paranthese - ")" - whole X system freezes, both input and output. Nothing helps except forced shutdown. Packages versions: * extra/pidgin 2.6.4-1 * extra/xorg-server 1.7.3.901-1 * extra/gdm-2.20.9-1 * core/kernel26 2.6.31.6-1 * extra/nvidia 190.42-1 * gnome 2.28.0 Additional info: * not dependent on protocol - tried the same with XMPP (GTalk) and Yahoo * hardware: Dell XPS M1530 laptop, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 CPU, nVidia GeForce 8400M GS GPU * most probably it's an upstream bug, but it's not sure that "pidgin" is responsible * check the attached log of "pidgin --debug" (not very useful) Steps to reproduce: 1. Start "pidgin" 2. Open a IM window 3. Type any text containing parathese - ")" 4. Press "Enter" to send the message Result: X system freezes |

Machine details where the bug is NOT reproductible: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU, ATI Radeon XPRESS 200 5954 (PCIE) GPU
OpenSource driver (radeon) is used for video.
The probability of a video driver defect increses (for nVidia).
FS#17472is the same bug?Not really sure if it's related to
FS#17472, as on the second machine (where the bug is not reproductible) gdm isn't the last in the daemon list.I'll try to use that workarroud on the machine where it was detected, and will let you know the re-test results.
Therefore, this is a duplicate of
FS#17472.
