pidgin-extprefs is causing wider window size

[amjjawad ]

I'm using Pidgin 2.10.0 (libpurple 2.10.0) on Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit on Lenovo Laptop.

Whenever I install "pidgin-extprefs" to be able to change the font size in Pidgin, I get a problem that can't be fixed unless I remove pidgin (purge). The problem is, the width of Pidgin's window gets wider/larger every time I login to Pidgin and I can NOT change the size, it will never allow me or let me do it. After sometime, it gets wider and it's really ugly.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks!

I have the same system, Ali. Still, I can't reproduce the bug.

Hello jpxsat :)
You can reproduce this bug by logging in to Pidgin then log out. After sometime, the width of Pidgin window will be increasing and you can't do anything about it.
