Text in Special:Wanda overflows box, and needs scrollbar
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

If you type enough questions in Special:Wanda, the text becomes taller than the gray box that holds it - and at that point, you can no longer do anything, because the textarea for questions is no longer visible. A scrollbar would solve this problem. (Alternatively, the gray box could just keep growing to fit all the text, which would more or less accomplish the same thing - I think either solution is fine.)

Event Timeline

Thank you for tagging this task with good first task for Wikimedia newcomers!

Newcomers often may not be aware of things that may seem obvious to seasoned contributors, so please take a moment to reflect on how this task might look to somebody who has never contributed to Wikimedia projects.

A good first task is a self-contained, non-controversial task with a clear approach. It should be well-described with pointers to help a completely new contributor, for example it should clearly point to the codebase URL and provide clear steps to help a contributor get set up for success. We've included some guidelines at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/good_first_task/ !

Thank you for helping us drive new contributions to our projects <3
