also scrolling up to view more history is broken? attachments/embeds without a text post show up blank without a link to the attachment

The chat width is narrow because GtkTextView can't resize properly due to a certain bugs. The current workaround is to have a HdyColumn to limit the width.

As a workaround, edit the MaxMessageWidth variable in gtkcord/components/message/messages.go to a higher value.

I'll keep this issue opened, and quite possibly for a long time. I've tried fixing this bug myself, but no luck there.

Maybe I'll add a setting for it.

Can you include a screenshot?

image i had to edit the message to make it more clear, otherwise there is nothing where that message is

also, oracle dropped google go because of their sweeping assumptions about the host system, including that they assume even unix system use GNU LD: here's my build line:

go install -ldflags='-v -extldflags=-Wl,-Map=gtkcord.map,-O,--gc-sections,--relax,--allow-shlib-undefined,-rpath,/usr/local/lib/64,-lumem -extld=/opt/gcc/bin/gcc' .

the key part of this being that i have to override the external link editor driver to use a GCC configured --with-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/sfw/bin/gld --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas since the default GCC is configured --without-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/ccs/bin/as --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld
