Public bug reported:

If I have my IRC window full-screen and type more text than fits in a
single row of the text input field, the window locks and I need to close
all tabs in that window then re-open them to be able to continue
chatting.  Interestingly:

 * closing each tab doesn't update the UI so it looks like all tabs are still open until I close the last, then the window disappears.  The window title is, however, updated with the new tab's title.
 * if I press enter after the long string has caused the window to freeze, the string is sent to the channel but I don't see it and it doesn't appear in my chat logs.

FWIW, Pidgin handles this overflow nicely by increasing the vertical
size of the input field, allowing multi-line entry.
