Use vertical resize on the textarea.

[Dragosvr92]

When you click the textarea grabber/resizer, and move to the right side, till you get with the cursor out of the <div id="postingbox" class="panel"> div, the textarea moves together with the smilies box, out of it(the div).

To fix it, add resize: vertical; into the #message-box textarea id...

I had a similar topic about this.. viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43093

please, create a ticket for it. It is simple fix. As long as it will be created, I can PR patch.
And do not forget about all textarea places - PMs, UCP, ACP, ...

Here is the ticket: http://tracker.phpbb.com/browse/PHPBB3-11111

Yes, you are right. It should be added on the ACP Textareas et cetera too..

Which grabber?! We use normal Textarea's and have nothing like a grabber installed?!

It's a browser thing.

-1, this is a browser thing, not a phpBB thing. By all means set a max-width.

huh?
Its a phpbb thing also, as you open it in a browser.
If phpbb works crappy in a browser, then it shouldnt be fixed?

phpbb already has a max-width set.....

Code: Select all

#message-box textarea {
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS",Verdana,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
    font-size: 1.2em;
    height: 270px;
    max-width: 100%;
    min-width: 100%;
    width: 450px;
}

callumacrae: I am also against your opinion. Browsers provided end-users option to resize textarea without any help from javascript. They also implemented "resize" CSS property for designers to manage their designs in the way it fits. For designers it is really important to know that some layout items will have exact width. I do not see any disadvantage in implementing it, and it gives us advantage of more stable default style (prosilver).

agreed...

I feel that this would be similar to deciding that we don't like the scrollbar in some browsers, and so replacing it with our own.

You are wrong. It is not like that at al !
At the moment, phpbb is made to only allow vertical resizing. It doesnt get resized in horizontal, unless you move the cursor/grabber out of the div i specified in my first post, and gets the smilies box out of the div, and shows it in the white body area. The resize property fixes that. Debug/test yourself and see.

Look at the attachment to see how the smilies area looks like. if you move the cursor whille pushes out of that div....
The black line is what the normal textarea size originally was before resizing...
After you resize it, and get with the cursor near the scroll bar(where the arrow is), it gets the smilies area messed up.


Listen Killer and include it ....
