Ethan, Thanks for all the efforts in Pidgin.
I've been using it on a long time, and as strange as it may seem, the whole reason I switched to Pidgin is because I've used other clients that had non-resizable text input fields and found this unacceptable. I want to be able to control what size my input text is. I frequently send 10+ line messages, as does my girlfriend and many of my friends, and I find that I am unable to use Pidgin until this problem is corrected. This isn't a threat or anything, just the truth, as I don't expect you to care much about one users -- however, if Pidgin can't be made to somehow have an adjustable text input size, then I (and my friends who also use Pidgin) will be forced to switch to a different IM client that allows a resizable text input field. This is a non-negotiable requirement for my girlfriend and I (and several of my friends) in an IM client. Not sure why this was removed, but boy, does it make Pidgin hard to use. Thanks again for all the efforts. I successfully used Pidgin for many years with no complaints, but maybe it is time to move on.
