Make chat length constant rather than based off of window size.

I've been running it at half-width and it is annoying to try and type it like that. Minecraft uses a fixed amount of characters.

It's pretty annoying.

I don't understand! if you have one screen that you play on, wont the chat length be constant to you?

I guess he means that the length of the window affects the number of character he can type.

i know it does, but he's talking like he has so many screens with so many different sizes!

That's the case. I was watching a livestream and playing at the same time, so Pokemon3D was at half width. My screen is fairly small (though not the worst), so I could only type in around 15 letters. This meant that if I wanted to say something, I would have to use multiple chat messages. Also, users with wider screens would be able to type however much they wanted.

I think you need to you F11 for now if you want to type longer message.
