Hi Lauri,

I agree with you, I had the same experience lately and that's very
annoying. That's indeed a usability bug, which usually means it is a
feature request (because "usability bug" means "it still works but could be
better").

I would suggest you open a ticket about this on the bugzilla, mark it as an
"enhancement", and come back here to give us the link. Eventually someone
would step up to make it so. Maybe even me if some day I am really too
annoyed by it. :-)

Also in the meantime, note that there is one solution to your issue: you
can increase the size of the window, then you'll see the whole text tool.
Annoying, but not a blocker.
Enjoy!

Jehan
