Utopian comment box resizing and mouse lag / Nov 19, 2017

Hi

I was trying to comment on a post today and saw that the comment box was too small. I tried to enlarge it and it work but is still small. Maybe for my resolution and what i am used to work in steemit.

You can read this post also on utopian.io

First, i thought resizing thing, it is a bug but i think it was more an option choosen by the devs.

The one i see as a potential bug is the mouse speed of resizing. It has some latency when moving mouse which is very strange because it feels like the mouse it don't work. First time i hit it slightly over the mousepad ;-).

You know the feeling, like when the windows freezes for a sec when something is killing cpu for short time.

And from what i see it happens only on utopian. So are not my browsers (i tried both on chrome and firefox).

Now, the pictures and details:

Default size looks ok:

Adding text and maximum height (for comment):

Adding text and maximum height (for post):

Resizing on horizontal it goes over the right side:

Recommended for max-height

The id for the comment box element is:

id="commentFormInput"

For desktop stylesheet

Original code is:

style="height: 58px; min-height: 58px; 
max-height: 154px; overflow-y: hidden;"

I would recommend:

• Maxim width = 670px
• Max height = 400px (at least, to have space and view longer comment)

I tried in inspector with this settings in chrome:

style="height: 394px; min-height: 58px;
max-height: 400px; margin: 0px; max-width: 670px;"

where i put

max-height: 400px;

and

max-width: 670px;

or maybe restrict it on vertical resize because we need to see more down, not on the right:

resize:vertical;

For post textarea (when writing a post), which have a default 298px it could be

max-height: 600px;

Regarding the mouse laggy move i don't know what settings are to be changed.

So i can't provide that details.

I tried also on my other laptop and the issues are the same.
