So, here is a user, who likes the new auto-resizing. I guess, I'd vote 
for keeping the feature, or otherwise said, I'd probably complain if the 
UI changes would be rolled back.

No what? Because some posted the want the old behaviour you think this 
is the majority? And if it was, what about the minority then? This would 
probably still be an enormous number.

Btw: After analyzing my logfiles I was convinced that the feature is 
really a good one -> 95% of my messages are one- and two-liners, so the 
input field isn't jumping at all.

PS: I'm neither a Pidgin dev nor more involved in the project apart from 
posting once a month in here. But in general I believe the following:
- OSS is created by people for themself. Not for a community, not for 
getting money and not for getting the respect. So it should primarily 
fit _their_ needs.
- In addition to the above, the code is released into the public, so 
anyone who disklike something or needs more features is able to extend 
or modify the software to _their_ needs.
