A chat message that is being edited

SUMMARY
I always have NeoChat taking up one half of my screen. When editing my messages, the message, now the edit dialog, shrinks to a width that is basically unusable. It's really hard to edit a message when you get maybe one word per line, especially for long messages.

To see if this was just a small window problem, I also tried this with NeoChat occupying the entire screen. It's slightly better, but still far too small to be comfortable.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Send a message in a room
2. Right-click the message and click "Edit"

OBSERVED RESULT
The message turns into a text input box, but is shrunk and thin.

EXPECTED RESULT
That the input box would be the same size as the original message. Better yet, it might be nice to actually expand larger.
