In pidgin, the shortcut of copying a text of chat history <Ctrl> + C does not work. Does anyone know why?

If it is working for you from other programs (e.g. not an issue with your keyboard), all I can suggest is that it is either a custom component that pidgin uses for displaying the text which does not have control+c enabled/built in to it, or, the developers have decided to disable it.

On my system (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit) running Pidgin 2.7.10, Ctrl-C works fine. So there must be something else going on here... like you said, perhaps this is symptomatic of a keyboard issue; or maybe a virus or spyware is infecting his system. – Chris Sep 18 '11 at 23:23
