[Bug 777429] [NEW] Previous Conversations window expands itself off the screen

[eimajenathat]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: empathy

Release: Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop, x86, Unity
Package: Empathy 2.34
Expected: Open Previous Conversation window for a contact and be able to read through old conversations.
Actual: When the Previous Conversation window loads the old conversations, the window expands continually, to the right.  At first it seems to be trying to accommodate a large amount of text, but expansion continues indefinitely.  After the expansion had been going for about a minute, the window decoration went away for the entire desktop.  I think that means Unity crashed?

This happened several times for me.  On a whim, I tried changing the
Theme used to present the conversation from Simple to Ubuntu, and that
seems to fix the issue.  Still seems like a proper fix might be a good
idea.
