IMHO, size of retort control assumes that it isn't initially destined
for multi-line input.  This way is used in Gabber and I realized
without any problems that I should hit Ret key to send my message.

I assumed that chat dialog is no more than a container for other
components that do real work.  I'd like chat control and retort
control to be reused when creating a group chat dialog.

It becomes considerably logical when this logic becomes natural to
you. :-)
