[Bug 433651] Re: no text wrap when typing in the message entry

[Tom Verdaat]

I can confirm this bug in Lucid Beta 1.

Text wrap works as it should if the IRC room contactlist is disabled
(uncheck Conversation > Show contactlist). If you enable the
contactlist, the window automatically grows (width only) when typing
texts longer than the window width. It does not wrap text in the input
field anymore.

Also, I noticed that the window already starts widening before you've
reached the end of the input field. Looks like the right part of the
input field that remains blank is about the same width as the default
width of the contactlist. Can't confirm that though, because I had
already made it smaller.

This bug is really annoying, especially on small screens like netbooks.
The window is able to grow beond the size of the desktop itself. I've
tried maximizing the window, but even then it still widens further. A
part just drops off the screen. This makes it a real usability bug so I
think the importance should be higher than the current 'low'.
