The comment textarea is now only 5 rows tall. It used to be bigger.

It would be nice to make it bigger again.

Agree. Five lines is too small, I am always having to stretch the box. There is no downside to having say ten lines? Also, could the formatting details be in a closable/openable fieldset like on other node edit forms? Most of the time we do not need to see them. This would make the 'save' and 'preview' buttons much closer to the textarea, and therefore easier to use without scrolling.

Yes, this is very annoying when you're trying to write a detailed, nuanced reply to an issue.

This encourages a lot of "+1" or "me too" replies.

The D6 version of d.o had a much larger text box. I'm not sure how big it was, but I never had a problem with the size before the upgrade. Whereas now I *always* have a problem with the size.

Great, thanks! Tested, committed and pushed:

Then I tested, committed and pushed a followup:

http://drupalcode.org/project/drupalorg.git/commit/361fb8b

- Also handle comment element on issue update forms.
- Use 15 rows instead of 20 in both places to not be too overwhelming.

Deployed all of this live.

Thanks again!
