Pidgin is barely maintained for the last couple of years and doesn't support most modern XMPP extensions. I'd definitely recommend Gajim on both Windows and Linux, which supports everything you need out of the box.
Hence the link for extras, but it is a valid issue.
Gajim is XMPP only, where Pidgin is multi-protocol, which is the main reason why I'm still using it.
