Text area fields are too small
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

ReplaceText is very powerful, and can easily replace large blocks of text. Restricting the size of the input fields to only 2 rows and just a few columns is unnecessary. Please give these fields 100% width and, say, 25 or more rows for easy editing of text. This is important due to the risk of overlooking mistakes if all the text is not visible.

bzimport set Reference to bz32894.

Downgraded this to "trivial" since it should be very easy to fix, and isn't much of a problem if worked around when text is edited externally and then pasted into the small text boxes.

Patch to resize the textareas

Since setting a 100% width causes problems in IE, I've resized the textareas to 125 columns and 25 rows.

Thanks.

Thanks Pranav Ravichandran for the edits. I just pushed it ;)

That change expanded the number of rows from 2 to 25. Isn't 25 a bit much? As far as I know, most of the time it's just a short piece of text in each input.
