Package: gossip
Version: 0.8-2
Severity: normal 
Tags: security

when double-clicking one of the offline users in the main window, a
window opened up a new chat tab titled 'foo' when it really was for
talking with 'bar'. 

i have two identical bar entry in my list, followed by foo. i double
clicked on foo, and started typing, thinking i was sending message to
her. instead bar replied! 

i am not very sure in which conditions this may happen, but it could
become a bit of a problem. i will look if i can reproduce it.

cheers, piem
