Some reports about this are really reports about a bug where the input
area is basically zero pixels high. See bug #201134. Hopefully this is
fixed in 2.4.1. If it's not, please let me know on that bug report.
Most objections we've seem upstream seem to deal with the text area
being "too small". Some people have objected to the input area not being
easily clickable. They don't realize (because it's non-obvious, but
there's not much we can do about it) that clicking the message history
area and typing will automatically move them to the input area. A few
object to it resizing automatically at all.
To address this, an option for the minimum size of the text area has
been added upstream. That should be in the next release and hopefully
Ubuntu can pick up either the whole release or at least that patch. If
you don't feel that option would be sufficient, please let me know *why*
(explain your use case).
