input text area not resizable?
In 2.4.0 pidgin automatically resizes the input text area in conversation windows. But it seems it is no longer possible to manually resize the input text area? I often use pidgin for exchanging code fragments, and a large text area is quite useful. Is there a way to get a large text area? - hemal ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: input text area not resizable?
Thanks for the quick response Sascha. Yes, 8 lines is better the 4 but I would have still preferred being able to control manually. I usually like to search archives before asking, but I could not find a way to search the archives. Now I realize a search at http://developer.pidgin.im/search would have given me the info I was looking for. I will make sure I do that next time before asking.

Please also consider reading the Mailinglist archive for this and the devel list. There has been some big discussions about the issue. If you have anything new to contribute to these discussion, please do so. @Pidgin-devs: While writing this mail, I tested the new max height (Wanted to check if it has a hardcoded line maximum or if a percentage value was used). Therefore I resized my window to a small height and typed multiple lines. Result: - If there are only the last two lines are shown (minimal height of the message window), the window itself grows to the bottom (changing the windows outer bound). - If you move the window to the bottom of your desktop, it grows out of the screen. Is this the desired behaviour? I'm on Windows XP, Pidgin 2.4.1, GTK 2.12.8 RevA Greetings -Sascha- ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

SSL
I have a question about an older jabber server that my company runs. For some reason it's not compatible with the newest version pf pidgin. It get's an SSL handshake failure. It is compatible with the older version of Pidgin 2.3.1. Is there a way (aside from updating the server which is out of my control) to make the new version of pidgin work in this scenario? ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support

Re: input text area not resizable?
There has been a plugin written that has been added to the trac. It lets you manually resize the input text area on new conversation windows once it is enabled in the Plugins List. (Manual Size Plugin). Search for 'plugin entry' and it should show up in the query. Craig.

Re: input text area not resizable?
The plugin is just a c file or windows dll file. I don't know what to do with them, I am not a programmer. Plugin is useless for me and developers don't want to include it in pidgin. -- http://matulka.net/ ___ Support mailing list Support@pidgin.im http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
Re: input text area not resizable?
http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/5296 Someone has added the .so files and a .dll for windows people and has typed the instructions on how to install. For Windows, the plugins directory can be found under one of the directories listed here: http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/ConfigurationFiles I assume you're running Windows.. You copy the .dll to the plugins directory (in previous link), restart pidgin, and enable it in the Plugins Menu. Craig.
