Screencast of bug.

When I write text which is longer than the chat input field, Empathy's IRC window re-size down to approximately 581x512 pixels.

Reproduction:
- Setup an IRC account with empathy
- Click the Empathy gnome menu and choose Join..
- Re-size the chat window using SUPER+Middle-click
- Write so much text in the chat input field so it exceeds the boundaries of the input field.

This is also demonstrated in the screencast attached to this bug report.

I believe gedit is also affected by this bug. If you re-size the gedit window, write some text which exceeds the field boundary and press Ctrl+S to save, the window shrinks back to a size of 536x376.

I can see this bug in Fedora 19 Alpha (version 3.8.1-1) too. When I re-size the window to original size and delete whole text it re-sizes again.

When text exceeds input field and window re-sizes to smaller then part of the written text isn't visible (cursor included).

Isn't this related to bug 696882 ?
Comment 4 Bastian Ilsø 2013-05-02 15:31:55 UTC 
Sounds very likely, Petr. I'll mark it as a duplicate. Wasn't aware of the other bug reports existant - searching yielded no results about this issue.
