To clarify: I expected the input box to wrap-around and either grow vertically, or have a scrollbar, yes. The window should not resize because it is being typed into. i.e. the input box grows horizontally to fit the typed text in, but in doing this forces the whole window itself to grow, which is wrong.
If this is not reproducible, may be a metacity or X issue, so will apport-collect this in. Will report this upstream as well. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #607543 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607543 ** Also affects: empathy via https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607543 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: As stated in the title. To reproduce: * Join an IRC channel (may be the same for MSN/Yahoo, etc) * Type a long message (longer than the window) The input box does not open vertically as you would expect, but resizes the entire chat window.
