(Get the code!)
Automatic resizing is not something I'm willing to adopt. It's far too difficult to implement correctly and it's a non-standard behavior that is confusing to users.
I might be willing to consider a manually resizable TextView as an option, but it would probably create problems. I used a TextView in the very first version of Gwibber and it was kind of a pain. Adopting TextView would also deprive us of the spellcheck feature, so I honestly don't think it's worth the sacrifices. If somebody wants to implement it as an option, I'll seriously consider merging it in. You get bonus points if you can find a way to make it support spellcheck.
