window resizes irreversibly when perfoming a contact search

[arturj]

Binary package hint: empathy

When the empathy contact list window has focus and I type on my keyboard a search for contacts ist performed. At least on german desktops, when no contacts matching the entered text are found a message is displayed inside empathy. The message is very long so the empathy window is automaticaly resized to fit the length (first error). After clearing the entered text the contact list appears again, but the window size remains (second error). Even worser, I am not able to resize the window back to its original size as the new size seems to be set as a new "minimum window width" (third and worst error).

Thank you for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments at: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631455

natty already has 2.32.1, so I assume it's fixed there. Also ubuntu-sru needs to be subscribed to SRUs. Please ensure that this gets done in the future, to speed up the processing.

Accepted empathy into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
