I agree with the original post. I can't figure out why this would have been changed. I want my window to be whatever size I want it. Currently I can only see about 2 lines of text, then it switches to scroll at 4 lines. Very annoying if I want to see my whole message.

Yes, modifying the source and building my own binary would certainly be
possible. However, I'd rather not have to do this for each subsequent
release, and a patch to make the input field resizable at runtime would
be more complex than simply hard-coding a larger fixed size.
I see that another user has filed a bug report in the Debian BTS :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=469109I think I'll wait to see what the Pidgin developers think of the request
to revert to the previous behaviour (or what the Debian package
maintainers think of applying a patch) before I start rolling my own
packages.
Thanks & regards,
