Either way, that's a separate request. Besides, when it is a text input Enter will submit the form automatically (browser behavior) which is good. So this change had to be made either way. If you want, file a separate ticket to turn it into a single-line text input. Note that textarea provides another thing besides multi-line: wrapping. It is much nicer to type a long line in a textarea then a flat input because there is no need to use the horrible scrubbing behavior that browsers have (select-dragging or keyboard arrows only). I've encountered numerous times during usability studies that a user thought the begin of the input was lost when it was no longer visible (there is no visual indication that it is still there, e.g. scroll or whatever). Or that the end was lost (when they focus another element, other elements scroll back to the begin). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
