It happens with AIM contacts, Google Talk, Yahoo, and Zeroconf.
It seems as though the text container tries to expand to fit a miscalculation
of minimum line width necessary to display some text. The window expands, and
more text is pulled up from a lower row, which forces (mis-)recalculation of
minimum line width. Repeat until all text utterances are on their own single
lines.
Noted in upstream bugzilla:
