Created attachment 15173 [details] [review] Bug 9571 [Alternate] Fix width for textareas in Edit Item screen
This alternative patch modifies the script where the input markup is built and adds an alternative configuration for textareas. This gives the textareas explicit "cols" and "rows" attributes. I think this solution is preferable to a style fix because it solves the bug while eliminating some invalid markup (no "size" or "maxlength" attributes on textareas, which are invalid without explicit dimensions).
To test, add a nice big chunk of text to an existing item's item field like "Public note" (952$z), save, and edit again. The field should now be displayed in a more comfortably-sized textarea.
I like the idea of using explicit "cols" and "rows". I wasn't sure whether it would be preferable to do that or use CSS, so I went with the latter. I think it might be an idea to increase the number of "cols" to 69 or so, so that it is closer to the length of the other input fields, but I might just be in favour of that number, because it looks better on my monitor. The same might not be true for others. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
