Text input area in template editing modal is too small
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

Experienced in Firefox, when editing the permission field of Commons' Information template.

Maybe this is a known issue, but I find it extremely painful to try editing a paragraph of text while only being able to view 1.5 lines at once (the short width also makes this worse due to excessive line wrapping). A good stopgap measure might be to let this text input be drag-resizable.

I didn't realize this is already live, we'll probably want to backport or do a OOUI release soon?

Checked - betalabs, test2, production - looks fine everywhere.

Re-opening it - Firefox 35(on Mac) still have the issue - Template text input areas do display a vertical scroll bar for chunks of text before clicking Insert. After the template was inserted - the input text boxes are still too small.

That's a separate Firefox-only issue, already tracked as T64084.

True. Closing this one - verified in Chrome/Safari.
