Hi There is a procedure to snap it out -- first widen the box, then begin editing -- the box then snaps back to a sensible height for the widened width. This, however, requires scrolling down to the bottom of the box -- which, with a long text entry, could be some distance.
I guess what is needed, is to set the default width of the box to fit the width of the space available -- when a form is opened, therefore, the initial minimum height will be reasonable. regards On Monday, April 28, 2014 2:01:27 PM UTC+2, Jeremy Ruston wrote: > > Hi Matabele > > What browser and operating system are you using?
