--- Comment #29 from Isarra <zhoris...@gmail.com> ---
This should definitely be fixed. 

Two lines of textarea is harder to use than one line of input, not just because
it's smaller in practice on many screens, but also because it prevent users
from hitting enter when they're done to submit like they would on other summary
and reason inputs, because textareas take enter as a linebreak - which makes no
sense here because log entries don't allow linebreaks.

While there are concerns about one line inputs being a constraint on how much
of a reason a user can give, the character limit is 200 characters (for
database reasons apparently) anyway - sufficiently low that even if someone
does hit the limit it is relatively trivial to scroll through it - and
generally reasons are a lot shorter than that. If a reason to move something
truly does require that many characters or more, chances are there is a bigger
issue behind the move itself and folks really should be using a link to a
policy or talkpage discussion or some such instead of putting it all in the
summary, not in the least so that people can respond to the lengthy matter if
need be.
