Why aren't the question edit boxes bigger?

Why can’t the question boxes the same size as the ones that you write the question in? It’s really annoying to work in such a small space. Is there any update coming soon?

Do you mean while you’re composing the body of your question? You do see that the full preview appears on the right hand side of the screen?
No, when you edit a question for a typo or something. There is only room for one line of text, and the preview is below it. It should be like when you are writing a question new, but it isn’t.
Oh yeah. I hate that too. Also @somebody doesn’t appear in editing. grrr
That’s true, there are a couple thingsd missing from the editing boxes.
No, do not plan on having it fixed anytime soon. Read the latest blog post for an update on what is going on with Fluther.
It is even more irritating on an iPhone because you can only edit the text that appears in the first few words. There’s no way to scroll down.
@Judi Yeah, then you have to drag your thumb down, then it skips a whole bunch. The site needs a bit of fixing up too.
@Judi – Try scrolling with two fingers inside the textbox. Or one finger stationary while moving the other up or down.
This is an edit rest per the advice of @Not_the_CIA; if I am annoying you by writing something that is irrelevant blame them^^^^^ as it was their idea to try to scroll a different way. I have to make the message long enough to make me have to scroll down. I have never been able to do it before, maybe this will be the magic ticket!
WOW!!! IT WORKED! THANKS!
The way it’s works for me… don’t really see it being an issue.
I don’t know, but it’s bugged me for a really long time. It’s such a pain in the ass when you have to go back and edit your question!
@Not_the_CIA – I love you and your awesome little gadgets. That is awesome. Much like your random Fluther Q app thinger, which I use all the time and LOVE. If I were a real girl, I’d probably have a massive, masive geek love crush on you. :)
@MissAnthrope – I had forgotten about Random. It was about 20K questions behind. But I updated it for you. It is current now. I’m just glad it is used.
@Not_the_CIA – Sweeeeet! I really had no idea. :P But thanks!
@Not_the_CIA I love your Random app too! (MissAnthrope shared it w/ me)
I think that it should be bigger as well
In this case, size really does matter.
LOL
