 Hi,
 I do not like teh new feature too, it is also annoying to type and see the
 window moving around.
 I also believe that 2 options, automatic and manual resize would, rocks. I
 believe that I read every post of this thread, and I do not like the 50%
 solution also.
 So, just a doubt: If creating options is a "usability problem" for devs,
 why have they created  "group or ungroup" items above the input chat
 window? (why not have a decision about that to)
 Connecting to question above, why (for possibility's sake) is not possible
 to add a "Allow manual resize" in this right click menu, that would work
 as the grouping itens? We already have this "context menu" with just one
 option, would add another option bloat or complicate the interface?
 Just one more 0,02... I believe that "drastic" changes annoy users
 (Windows Vista  is a kind of example), so, progressive changes would
 benefit all. It looks like you are "forcing changes"...

 Sorry about my english or if i looked rude in any of my others, it was not
 the intention.
