I only use Empathy for XMPP/Jabber, and have the problem too. It's not just an IRC problem. Description updated.
Also of note: Disabling the contact list doesn't work for me. ** Description changed: Binary package hint: empathy - I'm on Karmic Alpha 6. - When I type text in an IRC chat window, the text ~does not~ wrap, instead the window grows. - I haven't noticed this in any other chat protocols (yet), just IRC. + In Karmic, Lucid & Maverick, the text ~does not~ wrap when typing text + in a chat window. Instead, the window grows. + + This has been noticed in both IRC and XMPP (Jabber), possibly others. It would be nice if the text wrapped. :-) POSSIBLE WORKAROUNDS: - * resizing the contact list to a big enough size to prevent the expansion - * Text wrap works as it should if the IRC room contactlist is disabled (uncheck Conversation > Show contactlist). + * Resizing the contact list to a big enough size to prevent the expansion. + * Text wrap may work if the room contact list is disabled (uncheck Conversation > Show contactlist). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433651 Title: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
