I've recently begun talking to somebody who is, to put it mildly, a bit obnoxious with his use of custom emoticons. The sort who feels the need to replace a question mark with a gigantic question mark graphic.
Anyway, I noticed a weird behavior with custom emoticons now that I hadn't noticed before. Periodically (not always, and I don't know under what conditions) when there is a custom emoticon showing in somebody's chat window, messages I send or they send don't show up in the window until you click inside it the area where messages show up. The problem appears to clear itself up once the custom emoticon scrolls off the visible page.
Has anybody else noticed this sort of behavior?
Also, I just noticed recently that gaim seems to be taking quite a bit of memory. I'm not using tabs, so it's not related to the tab placement issue. Might this be related to the custom emoticons or is it something else? If it is related to them, the high memory usage seems to persist even when the window containing them is closed.
A quick search for "custom emoticon" in the bug DB didn't seem to turn up anything applicable. Running the latest beta on a linux box.
