summary

Resizing 'resident info' pane of IM window should maintain 1:1 aspect ratio while scaling profile picture

Description

According to the limits page on the SL wiki http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Limits#Textures Profile pictures are expected to be square.

Currently, when you resize the resident info pane of an IM window, the image stretches sideways, or compresses sideways to fill the available space.

I suggest that the image should scale in both directions, to maintain it's aspect ratio, while still shrinking of expanding to fill the available sideways space.

Since the images contain up to 300px by 300px (600x600 on the web), it seems that there should be plenty of available resolution to scale the image while maintaining the aspect ratio of the image.
