Sometimes when I toggle the display of offline contacts, Adium freezes. Happens about 50% of the time. Is this a known issue?

We need more information about your setup.

What else do you need? I haven't changed my Adium at all; it's like a freshly installed Adium. I only use it to add contacts; I don't change the skin nor do I add plugins or anything.

I think The-Tick wants to know:
1) What accounts are connected
2) What version
3) Does it freez at any other times
4) anything else unusual you've noticed
5) Operating system

1. 2 MSN, 1 AIM, 1 GTalk
2. 0.89.1
3. Doesn't freeze at other times.
4. Nothing unusual.
5. Mac OS X 10.4.6

Gary, you report enough problems that you should know what we need generally when reporting an issue.


How many contacts are being toggled to display/not display when you do this?

I have about 125 contacts. Usually about 25% are online when I toggle.

When did this start occuring?

What display style do you have enabled?

Can you provide a screenshot of your contact list, non-blurred.

Started occuring about a week or two ago.

Window Style: Regular Window.

I can't show you my contact list without blurring the contact names, but I can show it to you without blurring the contact groups, if I can just show a screenshot with the groups collapsed.

It'd be best if you just ask me what you want to see in the contact list, though, because it's very personal for me.

I want to see how much detail is in the contact list, how big the fonts are, etc.

Here you go:

Try disabling the images and then seeing if it's still happening.

Which images? I don't have the user images enabled.

What the hey? A sample would be much more useful than fiddling with the config...

A sample of what...?

Wanted to see if it was images first. I had this problem a bit back with .89.1 too. Disabling some images worked for me. *shrug*

I think this is the same problem I have filed as ticket 3302. It occurs for me when logged into AIM and Gtalk. I have a very minal buddy list, too (one line of names, no display of buddy icons or service icons, just the status icon). I provided a sample with the ticket.

I've noticed it doesn't seem to happen as much in 0.89.1, if that helps at all. I haven't had the problem occur in a while, in fact. The problem seemed to happen mostly when showing hidden contacts and then trying to scroll the buddy list, but it occasionally happened other times as well.
