ichat buddy list collapses when ...

Hey, I use ichat to talk to people who use google talk (like apparently a lot of people do). The program runs fine until I check my email on google itself. Basically, when the google chat window loads up in the web browser, the ichat buddy list collapses. What I mean by this is the entire buddy field goes away (as does the bottom bar). I can still receive messages from friends (and return them) when this happens. The problem though, is I cannot initiate a conversation through ichat because I have no means to click on a name (because they're gone).

Once this happens, the problem remains until I logout and log back in to ichat's client. I also have to be off the gmail page for it to work right.

Why is ichat doing this? I've seen a lot of messages about disappearing contacts, but this is not like what I've read about. It's not so much one contact missing from the list as it is just the entire buddy list window collapses to the top bar, and cannot be restored without logout/login.

I use ichat 3.1.9 and OSX 10.4.11
