it was indeed made deliberately, instead of scrolling horizontally, gaim's edit box forces 
the text to wrap. thus, if you expand your narrow edit pane vertically, you will see more 
of the text.  the only way we could acceptably move to having a horizonaly scroll bar is if 
the behavior was made optional.
