#12659: Text Status sometimes gets extra newlines
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  Prognesubis  |        Type:  defect                        
  Status:  new          |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)                  
 Version:  2.7.3        |    Keywords:  status text gnome notification
------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 Cosmetic issue where selection of auto-saved status text adds extra
 blank lines to display area of status text at bottom of buddy list window.

 '''Steps to reproduce:'''

 1)have a custom text status

 2)change status to invisible or off-line (thus removing text from view and
 storing as an auto-save)

 3)exit pidgin

 4)restart pidgin (status is still off-line)

 5)go to notification area menu select Change Status and click on the auto-
 saved status from before

 6)Looking at the display of the status at the bottom of you buddy list you
 see that 2 extra lines are added after the custom message.
 (see attachment)

 '''What should happen:'''
 There should be no extra lines, such as what happens when selecting a
 custom status when pidgin has been running for a while.
 (see attachment)

 '''Affects:'''
 2.7.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 -Gnome environment
 Tested using MSN, single Account

 -I noticed also that under other conditions when you select a status
 sometimes the display area is initially 2 lines too big for a second but
 then resizes quickly to the correct size.
 It only seems to stay the incorrect size in the conditions I described.
