Bug Description

When I'm in a Room (via Room->Join), and I am typing a message to be sent to the room, the window grows in width or in the upward in the chat window it should move downward not in upward because if it move upward it hide the last received msg.

It seems to me that the text entry area should grow in height until it hits a pre-defined maximum size. When it grows in height by N pixels, the chat history window should scroll down by N pixels as well so that the last visible line of chat history never changes. In no case should the entire chat window change size or position due to text being entered into the text entry field.

summary: - When typing more than one line in a room (using Room->Join), it widens
- the window rather than enlarging the height of the text area.
+ When typing more than one line in a room or in chat the window will
+ enlarge towards the downward
