Comment (by UI-freak):

 This "enhancement" convinced me that my days with Pidgin were over. It is
 the most useless and annoying feature I have seen in any program for a
 long time. A looong time.

 The number of complaints tells me that this was an utterly failure. Who
 ever wanted automatic resizing anyway?

 The developers make useless... USELESS... changes to the user interface,
 but the number of new features is close to zero, especially for MSN users.

 I don't need nerds to tell me to get a text editor or mail client, nor do
 I need automatic resizing. I didn't roll back to 2.3.1 I completely
 uninstalled Pidgin, installed emesene that supports MSN much better.

 You have been shooting in the dark lately. Return to development of
 features requested by users, your current ideas have been horrible.

 Goodbye Pidin.
