I see.. btw, IMHO, that's a real pity :(
Yeah, that doesn't sound like a good reason not to update the
port. If a new version of software is released, the port should be
updated to that version (assuming it compiles on our supported
platforms and such). If there's a need for keeping the older
version around, then I agree with the previous poster who said a
new port should then be created (by copying the older version of
the pidgin port).
I think this change has actually caused the pidgin project to fork,
so there's probably an alternate port that could be created from
the forked code that doesn't have the resizing input text area.
Maybe I don't understand the issue, but it seems like it would be
simpler to just have a checkbox in the preferences, or something,
rather than fork the whole project.
