If this behavior is on purpose, the usecase when the user hasn't typed any text yet has not been considered, since in this case it's very difficult to aim the mouse pointer in the 1-pixel height of the text box...

i can't resize the text box you type in in pidgin in the new build. any body got any ideas?
this is on purpose. it automatically adjusts based on the amount of text. it is not a defect.
No offense intended, but I'm not too fond of this new "feature".
I'm not a developer, and didn't mean to sound rude. its just been posted all over since it came out.

that part is a bug, and it doesn't happen for most of us, which is why it slipped through
Oh ok, thank you for this information ! Now i hope to see it fixed in a next release ;) I feel better !
