Use vertical resize on the textarea.

[DavidIQ]

This looks awfully familiar to another personal issue you had with the textarea for which you got denied as well...

Don't know why you keep trying to change 3.0 any chance you get when you know it's feature frozen. Stuck on the past much?

If you would have read better read the main post, you would have noticed that i mentioned that, and gave the link.

You answer me this. Is the textarea meant to be resized horizontally? The answer is NO.
It gets resized horizontally only if you do a bad move and get the cursor/grabber out of the posting page.

This is obviously a bloody bug and it should be fixed. It is incredibly EASY to apply, so i do not see why you would refuse to do so.
The final release of 3.0 should be as stable as possible in my opinion.
....As stable as it currently can be.

Is it so hard to add a line in the css files?
textarea {resize: vertical;}

What happens if I want to make it smaller horizontally? Like I said before, I would agree with adding a max-width, which would stop the user from making it wider.

Dude, are you that dumb? It CANNOT Be made smaller horizontally !
It only gets a bit bigger, and messes up the similes box.

Just test the damn thing and see for yourselves. Then talk. Thanks.
If you would have been doing so, you would have figured out i am right, and would have agreed with the fix, other than talking nonsense.

Thats a second problem with those textareas - normally you can make it smaller horizontally, but this one has also a min-width

To note, I am using Google Chrome and cannot get the textarea to resize horizontally, either smaller or bigger. So I do not see the issue.

EDIT: Checked in Firefox as well. Is this only an Olympus issue?

[Dragosvr92]

The issue is in Olympus and Ascraeus....

+1 And confirmed on phpBB main website using Chrome v21.0 and FF v12. See screenshot below.

1) Start new topic.
2) Click and drag text area resizer... First drag it vertically (it won't allow you to drag it horizontally first), then drag it horizontally.




* Edit - Just tested and confirmed in FF as well. Updated post.

[Dragosvr92]

I just installed chrome and looked at the Textarea.

Guess what. It seems that the textarea there behaves the same way, as with the min-height: 268px; added, as i suggested previously.
It cant be made smaller. It can be enlarged horizontally, but it cant be made smaller. What are you guys really testing there....

PS: On the first page i posted an screenshot made on area51, so im not sure why i was asked if its only an olympus issue..
