Bug Description
When using Pidgin, if a chat that is persistent is closed and the user is notified because he/she was mentioned, when clicking in the notification or in the panel indicator-messages, the chat is opened in a new window, so Pidgin has the window with the friend and channel list and two windows with chats.
If one window with chat is closed, all tabs with chats go to the remaining one and the tabs no longer can be closed. If the user tries to close the remaining chat window, then Pidgin freezes and the window title changes many times per second, each instant with the name of one of the channels. The only way to stop it then is to kill the process.
