Sorry for coming in a little late on this, but it's really horrible
having the input clear on escape. I push escape a lot (a habit I picked
up from using Vim a lot) and I don't ever want it to clear the input
field. There are a great many other Linux users with this habit too I'm
sure.

It is also just weird behavior. Where did this idea come from that esc
should clear the field?

Please, please make escape do nothing in the input field!

Title:
  Hitting ESC when typing a message should clear the message

Status in Gwibber:
  Fix Committed
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gwibber

  What happens:
  When I'm typing a message and hit escape, I expect the message area to be cleared. It isn't, so I select all the text and hit backspace to delete it. However, if I'm replying to someone the fact that I'm replying still isn't cleared; I have to use my mouse to click the X next to the service I'm using to reply in the "Send with" area.

  What should happen:
  Hitting escape should clear the message window (Ctrl-Z should bring the contents back if it's in error). Moreover, ESC should clear the in-reply-to field, since having the text there after the @foo has been cleared from the message box is confusing and makes me think that I'm going to send a reply to someone even when I'm not.
