            Bug ID: 57275
           Summary: textarea problems when editing existing header or post
           Product: MediaWiki extensions
           Version: master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Flow

If you edit an existing header or post in Firefox and Chromium in wiki text
mode,
* The textarea starts out two lines tall regardless of how many lines of text
it contains.
* The textarea has no scrollbar regardless of how many lines of text it
contains.
* The textarea has no resize grabber handle.
The moment you press a key in the textarea (even an arrow key), it autosizes to
its contents, which is good but
* It autosizes regardless of the window size or scroll position.
* There seems no limit to how big the textarea gets.
* After I Cancel or Submit changes of a 130-line textarea, the original post
(probably much less tall) doesn't scroll into view, I'm left at some random
point in the document.
** (And because there are dozens of empty comment areas on the board with my
name, I can't search on my username to find my just-edited post, but that's a
different issue.)

I think most of these are side-effects of the fix for bug 56131 "reply and edit
text boxes do not expand." There are many jquery.*resize* libraries addressing
this, Benny comments "we used jquery.elastic for Moodbar." (FWIW, ooui doesn't
seem to support this.)

While I'm here, I also note that clicking the pencil icon to edit the header or
a post does not set the input focus to the textarea. It should, and that might
fix some issues.
