I'm on Empathy 2.34.0 and I can get the bug to come and go depending on the width of the participants list on the right hand side. If it's smaller than some width, the box stops wrapping, but if I make the participants list a bit wider, the input box wraps properly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433651 Title: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/433651/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this issue with Empathy 2.32.1. The input box for the group chat dialogue (in this case XMPP MUC) expands instead of wrapping the text around.

[Bug 433651] Re: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry
Maximizing the window will not only not stop the issue, but make it worse instead: the window will jump back and forth with each letter typed. Also, resizing the window is not an adequate solution if you have to type long texts. Eventually you'll have to resize the chat window past the screen size. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433651 Title: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 433651] Re: Chat window grows beyond screen bounds - no text wrap when typing in the message entry
I have the same problem, it's not fixed in Empathy 2.32.1 [Ubuntu 10.10]. Some observations from others' comments as well as a bit of messing around with it: *the window will expand rather than wrap text *this only happens in chatrooms (as opposed to private conversations) *this does not happen if the contact list is disabled *someone mentioned that it only happens if at least one contact is truncated with ellipses (see gtk+ bug link below, thanks Omer!), though I found that this is not the case. Though there does seem to be some threshold size, where if the contact list is over a certain size, the problem doesn't occur. *this also seems to be tab specific for me, meaning if I make one room's contact window small and go to another room it wraps fine, whereas if I go back to that room it will expand *it will expand some length before the text actually reaches the end of the input field *it will expand past the edge of the monitor *maximizing the window does not stop the issue *it's not possible to resize the window smaller again without deleting (or sending) the text *also this seems to be a gtk+ bug as Omer mentioned: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=587441 Hopefully this summary is helpful to someone that might be looking at this issue.

Omer, what is the issue? is there a bug # for it in gtk+? I think launchpad is not serious enough with the word affected.
