[Bug 681992] Re: Empathy resizes IRC window off side of screen during text entry (rather than wrapping input box to window)

[Paul Sladen]

It might well be as simple as tweaking the Gtk+ EXPAND/FILL flags on the
text entry so that the parent doesn't get resized.

** Summary changed:

- Empathy IRC doesn't wrap user input when it reaches the end of the line
+ Empathy resizes IRC window off side of screen during text entry (rather than wrapping input box to window)

** Description changed:

- When I'm typing a message into IRC using Empathy and my message exceeds
- the length of the line, rather than wrapping to the next line, the way
- it does with IM, it just incrementally extends the width of the window
- and will continue to do so until it goes off the edge of the screen.
+ In Empathy IRC mode, when a message is entered that is longer than can
+ be displayed in the current window width, the window is expanded.  This
+ continues to be repeated until the window has expanded beyond the edge
+ of the screen and the user can no longer see what they are typing, or
+ half of the Empathy IRC window.
+ 
+   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59686909/before.png (normal width)
+   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59686915/during.png (getting wider)
+   http://launchpadlibrarian.net/59686923/after.png (off edge of screen)
+ 
+ Ideally the IRC text entry box should be wrapped (or scrolled) when long
+ lines are entered, rather than being allowed to resize the parent window
+ beyond the bounds of the screen.

** Summary changed:

- Empathy resizes IRC window off side of screen during text entry (rather than wrapping input box to window)
+ Empathy resizes window beyond screen bounds during IRC text entry (should wrap/scroll input instead)
