I'd like to see a larger textarea for comments. Some places have it resize depending on how much has been typed into it so far, but I'd settle for one which was simply a bit bigger (or a setting).

Of course, whether this is actually a good idea depends on how much you want to encourage me to write essays in the comments. (The bigger input field only matters when I've written a lot and want to skim back for errors.)

The bottom-right corner of the comment text-entry box can be dragged to expand the box or change its size. Or is that not what you're referring to?

That is a browser feature, not a LW feature.

Browser feature to which browser? On Mac, it works in Google Chrome, Stainless, and Safari - it didn't in Firefox, but that's it.

All of the browsers you name are WebKit-based.

That would probably explain it.

Huh, I guess I'm spoiled. Apologies for contributing noise.
