It's time for in-game chat to get some attention. The system in place is pretty clearly a placeholder, and needs to be torn out at the root and replaced with something a little more robust.
Now while I turn blue waiting for that to happen, may we please have word wrap? It's not dependent on OpenGL or 64 bit windows, it's word wrap. It was in common use before the rise of the internet almost 20 years ago, it's word wrap. It doesn't require a twitter account.
You don't even need the AOL diskette.
Say it with me: It's word wrap.
Anyone else have suggestions for in-game chat?

PS: love the game, love notch, love mojang - I'm just deeply aggravated at this one little simple obvious thing.
On the other hand I don't know what word wrap is and even though I'll google it, I suppose I'm not alone, so you should add some more info...
Edit - I now support word wrap as well!
If you're typing in chat in minecra
ft right now, and the line you're t
yping is longer than the length of
the screen, your words get all brok
en up. Word wrap wraps the full wor
d instead of breaking it up into us
eless chunks that are hard to read.
EDIT: A friend who abhors this forum also suggested FONT and POINT SIZE options for chat. I support this.

Definitely would be nice to be able to see chat history and play the game at the same time! Nice one.
Yes I also like this idea!
