Description Harald Sitter 2023-12-20 10:22:03 UTC

SUMMARY
when you put too many lines in the review the textarea happily grows in height until you no longer see what you are writing


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. go to an app page
2. click on 'write a review'
3. copy past foo\n a million times in the textarea

OBSERVED RESULT
lines start disappearing

EXPECTED RESULT
textarea should probably a) be scrollable and b) there should be some sort of limit so people don't try to input entire novels (I'm guessing there's also a server side limit of sorts?)

When I give this a try, the whole popup becomes scrollable, even if the textfield itself isn't. So there's never a case where I can't see the text I typed.

But I could see the argument that the text field itself should be bounded in height and should be scrollable instead of the containing popup.
