Title:
  Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in
  the message entry

Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface:
  Invalid
Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit:
  Confirmed
Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: empathy

  In Karmic, Lucid & Maverick, the text ~does not~ wrap when typing text
  in a chat window.  Instead, the window grows.

  This has been noticed in both IRC and XMPP (Jabber), possibly others.
  It would be nice if the text wrapped. :-)

  POSSIBLE WORKAROUNDS:

  * Resizing the contact list to a big enough size to prevent the expansion.
  * Text wrap may work if the room contact list is disabled (uncheck Conversation > Show contactlist).
