 There appears to be a bug relating to how finch deals with chat windows
 that are larger or smaller than 80 characters wide.

 If the window is expanded past 80 characters, the window border moves as
 it should, but the actual text within the window (as well as the line wrap
 marker characters) only moves one character larger for every two
 characters of width added.  When using a large width like 140 wide, this
 means there is a large unused empty space at the right of the window that
 is 30 characters wide.

 If the window used is less than 80 characters, the window is only shrunk
 by one character every two characters that should be moved, and the right
 hand border of the window disappears and reappears every other press of
 the key to move the size.  The underscore area seems to be made shorter by
 the "right" size, so it ends up not being as wide as the window is.
