Often it's only when I see the posting that I realise I want to change something.

Same with me. For some reason my eyeballs don't see the issue until I've submitted it. I think some of it is being able to see a bigger chunk of text at once. I wish we could make the editing window bigger.

Safari, Firefox, and Chrome all let you resize any multi-line editing box.

How? Here I am editing in chrome, I go to the edges to tray and get a draggy thing, and I don't get one. I can resize the screen, but that doesn't give me more line like to work with. The box expands and shrinks in sync with the text.

Upgrade to a Mac? :-) There's a draggy thing at the bottom right corner of the comment editing pane for me, put there by the browser, not the web page -- it's on editing panes in any web page. Safari at least has done this for years.

Like this.
