What steps will reproduce the problem?
It seems that the method SlimCat uses to format sent links has compatibility
issues with Pidgin.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When a user of SlimCat sends a link, be it in chatroom or private message, the
link has a chance of not showing up within the text. If it is at the end of
the message, that message will just be truncated off; and if the link is the
only part of the message, Pidgin will interpret it as a blank message:
(9:39:24 PM) [User1]: Random Text Random Text
(9:39:31 PM) [User2]:
(9:39:32 PM) [User3]: :^)
Where "User2" would be the person sending the link.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm getting this error on 0.3.0, with Pidgin 2.10.11, on Windows 7 x64
Please provide any additional information below.
It is rather difficult to pin down the cause of this-- especially when not
using SlimCat or having multiple accounts to test out various settings of
link-sharing. More often than not, links work alright-- but there doesn't seem
to be anyway to "recover" links without asking the individual to send again--
which would become annoying in a chat-room with lots of SlimCat users.
I have a hunch that the usage of url BBcode may be a partial issue as well, if
SlimCat does something strange with it when sending bare URLs.
