Pidgin 2.4.1: Can't lift conversation window up

[durkhrod chogori]

So I have more space to write.

Is there a way to maximise my window so I have more room to write?

In the previous versions of Pidgin it was easy to lift the window up, like in msn messenger. Dunno why this new version doesn't allow the user to do that. A bug, perhaps?

Thanks in adv.

it's devs decision to make it so. it auto-resizes it-self as you write. you can use funpidgin if you didn't like it like many other pidgin users

Thanks for chiming in.

Honestly I don't like that idea very much. I feel stressed when I write.

How can I download FunPidgin in Ubuntu?

Thanks.

I have to uncheck Options->Show Formatting Toolbars to get the text area showing up consistently.
