I have added the workaround in the description of the bug report ** Description changed:
As stated in the title. To reproduce: * Join an IRC channel (may be the same for MSN/Yahoo, etc) * Type a long message (longer than the window) The input box does not open vertically as you would expect, but resizes the entire chat window. - Ubuntu Lucid alpha 2 (19 Jan 2009 updates). - --- + Workaround: For any one facing this, the workaround is to not let the username of any contact in the IRC, MUC ellipsized i.e. strech contact list if you have to. + --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100113) MachineType: Hewlett-Packard Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: xorg 1:7.5+1ubuntu1 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-10-generic root=UUID=a27ab297-9ed1-47a0-8f4a-3a8f6926b2ab ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_GB.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_GB.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-10.14-generic RelatedPackageVersions: - xserver-xorg 1:7.5+1ubuntu1 - libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7-0ubuntu7 - libdrm2 2.4.17-0ubuntu1 - xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1ubuntu1 - xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.99+git20091125.0061c4db-0ubuntu2 + xserver-xorg 1:7.5+1ubuntu1 + libgl1-mesa-glx 7.7-0ubuntu7 + libdrm2 2.4.17-0ubuntu1 + xserver-xorg-video-intel 2:2.9.1-1ubuntu1 + xserver-xorg-video-ati 1:6.12.99+git20091125.0061c4db-0ubuntu2 Tags: lucid Uname: Linux 2.6.32-10-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare dmi.bios.date: 06/23/2009 dmi.bios.vendor: Hewlett-Packard dmi.bios.version: F.3E dmi.board.name: 360A dmi.board.vendor: Wistron dmi.board.version: 08.60 dmi.chassis.type: 10 dmi.chassis.vendor: Wistron dmi.chassis.version: N/A dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnHewlett-Packard:bvrF.3E:bd06/23/2009:svnHewlett-Packard:pnCompaqPresarioCQ50NotebookPC:pvrF.3E:rvnWistron:rn360A:rvr08.60:cvnWistron:ct10:cvrN/A: dmi.product.name: Compaq Presario CQ50 Notebook PC dmi.product.version: F.3E dmi.sys.vendor: Hewlett-Packard fglrx: Not loaded glxinfo: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory system: - distro: Ubuntu - architecture: i686kernel: 2.6.32-10-generic + distro: Ubuntu + architecture: i686kernel: 2.6.32-10-generic - --- + --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100113) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: metacity 1:2.28.0-2ubuntu3 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_GB.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_GB.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-10.14-generic Tags: lucid Uname: Linux 2.6.32-10-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare - --- + --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid Lynx" - Alpha i386 (20100113) NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: empathy 2.29.5.1-1ubuntu2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_GB.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + LANG=en_GB.utf8 + SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-10.14-generic Tags: lucid Uname: Linux 2.6.32-10-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare -- [lucid] empathy window resizes while typing in IRC https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/509866 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
