Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

I was testing pidgin as recommended in wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Cases. I found that when I typed into IRC, using the small box at the bottom of the IRC window, the text seemed to jitter up and down as I typed.

However, because of bug 145231 I can't easily reproduce this right now.

I can confirm this.

To reproduce:

1) Open Pidgin, sometimes only works with a few conversation tabs open
2) Have the area where you write a message about 1 line tall, the default size.
3) Type some text. Upon each character press the entire line jumps.

This bug is not experienced when:
A) the area is two or more lines tall
B) You write more than one line in your message.
