If this is too annoying, I recommend using Pidgin until this gets fixed.
I added a note about this to the description.

** Description changed:

  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).
+ * Use Pidgin instead
