Personally I always liked the manual resizing method. I like my windows to be exactly in a certain way, and if I can't have it that way, my OCD flares up. I wasn't so hot on the autoresizing, because I'd have my IM windows in a line, and I'd see the one have a different size input than the others, and that bugged me while it was that way (was minor, since as soon as it sent, all was back to normal). Still, I could keep things how I preferred them, which had 4 lines in the input box, which worked perfectly for how I normally do things. In come the new single line as default method (others report it showed 2 lines, when, I only ever saw it show a single line), just threw things out of kilter, and made things constantly change. Bad for OCD. Also, I use a tablet PC, and my dominant hand has some permanent issues, so having a larger text input area made it really easy for me to click into the input box. I know anywhere in the window is good enough for focus, but if you miss and select text, or hit another button, it is annoying. Basically, all I am saying is, can you make it an option, so us freaks can have the old way? I am not against change, and like that you guys are experimenting, but, forcing a change is not good, since you basically expect it to be a one size fit all. What I've found best in my own work, is when introducing a change, have it be optional, so people can revert. Even if the person has to change the config file in a text editor, giving the option, somehow, works to make everyone happy. _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [email protected] http://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support
