[Bug 1059633] [NEW] Emacs 'Ediff' Window Shrinks Horizontally To One Column Wide

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Ubuntu Foundations Team Bug Bot (crichton):

Unlike previously reported bug #941790, this bug involves a horizontal
shrinkage to one column wide (multiple rows), and is still present in
GNU Emacs 23.3.1.  Resizing the window isn't a work-around, as the
window immediately shrinks again.  The behavior is observed as follows:

Run ediff-buffers
A new window, 'Ediff', opens and contains the text "Type ? for hlep" 
In the 'Ediff' window, type the character '?',  This is supposed to display helpful info on the ediff commands
Ediff window will expand, then shrink horizontally to one character wide
Grabbing the frame and reszing will cause the shrinking behavior to repeat

Releveant packages / versions:
Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS
GNU Emacs 23.3.1
Unity 5.16.0-0ubuntu1
