[Bug 433651] Re: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry

 

I just tried to set the status back to "Confirmed", but it's not letting
me do so.  Can someone with permissions set the status back?  One person
already reported that it's still broken, and another confirmed it.
Thanks.

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).
