I've never seen it with the multi-line tags. And we do resize the tag by hand - the scroll wheel opens and shuts it, in addition to adding/removing the trailing newline.

the layout is tricky.=C2=A0 and it's hard to prevent resizing flicker.= =C2=A0 perhaps forcing
the user to resize the tag by hand might be smoother.

a sam(1)-style window rather than fiddling with the tag.
