Looks like they enabled a kind of strip of word bubbles above the chat window for some accounts. It pops up based on words it sees you typing, probably based on some AI algorithm. I'm not aware of a way to prevent it.

I don't really communicate regularly using Skype other that it's installed except once in a blue moon from some random stranger but are you sure it's not this setting?

On the contrary, it is! I just hadn't scrolled down to that one last line, which was off screen for my window size. That's a brand-new option--it wasn't there before. Thanks.
