Title:
  Emacs 'Ediff' Window Shrinks Horizontally To One Column Wide

Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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
