 Replying to [comment:106 rudidude86]:
 ...
 > It's great that the dev's are trying to improve things, but this
 drastically damages the user interface by removing key tools for adjusting
 it. The ''best'' size for ''my'' text input box is whatever ''I'' set it
 to, and the ''best'' size for ''Bob's'' text input box is whatever ''Bob''
 sets it to, despite [comment:30 seanegan]'s insistence that he and the
 other Pidgin devs can do a better job.


 I cannot agree more with the above statement.  I've reverted back to
 2.3.1.  Imho, this is a step back instead of step forward.   I've always
 set the text input window to a size that I liked (rather large, but that's
 how I use it).
