Comment 18 for bug 959084

I did some testing and this bug only appears when using Ubuntu's adium theme so it's either a theme bug (like some js infinite loop or something) or a webkit-gtk one. I can reproduce this bug on F17 as well.

I won't have time to investigate this issue further but the next step could do to try some profiling using Webkit's inspector tool:
- gsettings set org.gnome.Empathy.conversation enable-webkit-developer-tools true
- Open a chat with the adium theme
- Right click and select 'Inspect Element'

It would be cool if some webkit(-gtk) could take a look on this issue.
