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. Others should feel free to confirm or deny these claims (though I tested all of them on my own system). -- 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
