Description:
When you paste something into the text entry box that you copied from within Pidgin (either text from the conversation, or other text in the text entry box), it's prepended by a some character that I can't see. However, I know it's there because people on IRC that use some other clients complain about it. Also if I hit the "home" key to go to the beginning of the line, I can delete it without deleting the first visible character. I haven't found this to happen in Firefox, gedit, or Tomboy, so I don't think it's gtk.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Pidgin 2.4.1

Steps to reproduce:
A)
Open a conversation. Type something into the text entry box (say "foo"). Copy it. Paste it at the end of the text you initially entered ("foofoo"). Move the cursor with your arrow keys across the beginning of what you pasted. You will find an invisible character ("foo[]foo").

B)
Open a conversation. Say some stuff. Copy text from what you said. Paste it into the text entry box. Move the cursor with the home key to the beginning of the text. Hit the right arrow key, and the cursor will not move. Hit it again and it will.
This task depends upon

My friend that uses Foresight Linux also has this issue, so I'm sending it upstream. Here's the ticket:
