[Bug 433651] Re: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry
I'm on Empathy 2.34.0 and I can get the bug to come and go depending on
the width of the participants list on the right hand side. If it's
smaller than some width, the box stops wrapping, but if I make the
participants list a bit wider, the input box wraps properly.

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:
Triaged
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Binary package hint: empathy
Issue still present in Oneiric.
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).
