Comment (by muirheadd):

 I would interpret what he means as: Pidgin used to allow the user to
 manually adjust the size of the text area using a sizing control - and it
 remembered the last size the next time Pidgin restarts. However, in 2.4.0,
 it appears that the user's ability to manually size the text area has been
 removed and replaced with an auto-sizing mechanism.

 I am running Firefox 2.0.0.8 on CentOS 5 w/ Gnome 2.16, and the text area
 is auto-resizing to less than one line tall - it's just a sliver and I
 have to hunt around with the cursor to get input focus into the text area.

 This is so annoying and unusable (after only an hour of trying to use it)
 that I'm uninstalling 2.4.0 and rolling back to an old version until this
 gets fixed.

 The choice of manual resizing vs auto-resizing should be a configuration
 option or it should be eliminated altogether.
