Comment(by Dawudd):
Expecting someone to check the FAQ does not make for a discoverable
interface. The vast majority of people who are unaware of this shortcut
will waste time retyping the lost message from memory while cursing under
their breath. There are two issues here. First, Ctrl+↑/↓ are not
discoverable. These shortcuts should be in the menu. The second is that
Pidgin doesn’t notice when a long message was discarded. The humane
solution in this situation is to do an automatic Ctrl+↑, thus returning
the lost message to the input area. I have seen other chat clients do
this. Or, better yet, the message should be split up and sent piecemeal
all automatically. Either way, this should be solved automatically, as
there is ''nothing'' here that actually requires user input.
