 > And for people who want to write long text the maximum of the auto-
 rezise-input-area has changed to the half of the window-size (without
 scrollbar). So with a hight resolution you should have enought space for
 long text!!!!!

 Excellent!! I would like to give thumbs-up to the idea "auto-resize upto
 half chat windows size". Now the solution is simple, elegant and
 rezolution independant.

 99% of people who want manual resize simply hated the scroll-bar to
 appear. I spent some time thinking what number of lines will be the best
 limit for auto-resize... Definingit as 50% of the chat window is very good
 idea.

 However, it is a complicated code and you should try to make it bug-free.
 Sometimes the input area opens with zero-height. Also, test it with
 "lazybums" plugin.

 Good luck with 2.4.1!
