[gaim-migrate @ 5468] David Brigada (jsi) writes: " This patch changes GTK_WRAP_WORD to GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR throughout the sources. That fixes a bug where long single-word input into GtkTextViews and similar would cause the textview to expand, causing the window to expand. This fix depends on a patch to GTK+ that is in current CVS but not yet released. To address the backwards-compatibility issue, GTK_WRAP_WORD_CHAR is #defined to GTK_WRAP_WORD when not defined by GTK+'s header files. The only problem I can forsee is binary compatibility; if Gaim is compiled under a GTK+ CVS (or a future release) environment, and then run under a GTK+ 2.2.1 or earlier environment, behavior is undefined; the text area will probably not wrap at all. However, source compatibility is maintained." basically, gaim will start wrapping text in any version of gtk2 that supports it, and should work exactly the same in any version that still has the bug. many thanks to David for his hard work. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>
