 > 3) The auto-resize seems to have failed to take into account custom
 convo font sizes, so if I set a font that's larger than the default, the
 input field will resize itself on the first ''character'' I type, and then
 resize itself back down again every time I send a message.

 That happens to me too when I type in '''Japanese.''' Apparently the
 default Japanese font is larger than the English one; the text input area
 automatically resizes as I type in Japanese, and it will shrink back to
 the original height once I hit the return key to send my message. If it
 matters, the OS is CentOS 4.6. The version of Pidgin is 2.4.1.

 The "auto resize" feature itself is bearable to me, although I'm still not
 used to being unable to resize the text input area myself. The problem
 hobbified and I described above -- that's something I cannot stand.
