The edit-text widget automatically resizes textareas to fit their content. Currently, the minimum height of 100px is hardcoded in the widget. The height is set as a direct style attribute on the textarea, which is why you've not been able to override it with CSS.
Would adding a "min-height" attribute to the edit-text widget fit your use case? Best wishes Jeremy.
