Hello everyone, i was following the discussion about input field resizing, and i am one of those who want resizability back. But for quite the opposite reason than most - and i don't think anyone raised this point before - i would like to make the input field _smaller_. Yup, that's right, only one line for me, thankyouverymuch. I use pidgin for instant messaging - that is, quick exchange of quick messages. Most of my messages are less than one line, because i tend to keep the conversation window short but wide. It sits on top of my screen, say ten lines of history and one line of input, 1024x380. Automatic resizing is fine, it is actually very helpful, but two lines by default is waste of space. So, from me, +1 to configurable minimum and maximum size, as long as it is possible to set minimum of one line! A short trip to pidgin history reveals that the default was always two lines. Back in gaim 0.60-or-something, it was actually possible to configure input height. But alas, fixed minimal height was some 18 pixels - way too much. In some quite recent version of gaim/pidgin, you could resize the input as you liked, provided that you liked it bigger. Most recent versions didn't have this minimal size restriction, and for a time it was good. But now i'm stuck with one extra useless line again. Next time you work with minimum size constraints, please bear in mind that at least one of your devoted users likes his stuff small ;) regards m.
