Them Damn Edit Boxes Feature Requests

As an editor on K5, I probably spend more than my fair share of my time staring at a pair of story submission edit boxes.

They're too narrow and too short for sensible working with long stories.

What I'd like is to be able to have either a width set in my preferences, or, like ZIWETHEY , a little dropdown with "Wider/Narrower/Taller/Shorter" as options.

This becomes especially useful when working with stories that have clearly been prepared in a text editor and then pasted in.

I'm no HTML maven so I don't know how feasible this is. I guess another alternative would be to force the text box to rewrap the existing text.

The final option is to make the text box just wide enough to fit on a 640x480 screen, which would, by my squinting-and-guessing method, roughly double the current width.

I want prefs (none / 0) (#1)

I want prefs for that. Say in your user prefs that you want all text boxes to be a certain size, and *poof*, done. In fact, I hope to do that after fixing a few bugs around here

All in all scoop is fantastic. But I _Hate_ how small the text boxes are. Yeah yeah, I've got the source... but I don't have the time to change it.. (too much). So hopefully scalable, or customizable width, text boxes will be coming soon...
