Re: [mylar-dev] bugzilla editor in new dev build

[Eugene Kuleshov <eu@xxxxxxxx>]

 I actually wonder if description area should be a non editable like it 
used to be. Then for connectors like jira we could have an action to 
flip it into the editable area...

 Another option would be to make editable area "autoexpand" or collapse 
based on the number of lines in there (sort of emulate "in-place 
editing", then you can even remove cursor. Not sure though if it is 
possible to to such trick with SWT and forms, unless you can intercept 
all the keyboard events and have a custom text editing widget (not text 
area).

 By the way, can we have sashes between editable areas and still have 
scrollable area for the entire text editor? That would make it much more 
convenient to deal with description and comment areas. I am using this 
feature a lot in the web UI with "Resizeable Textarea" plugin for FireFox...

 regards,
 Eugene
