I don't mind the size of the textarea, but I have another problem with them when I use Opera.

I'm using Opera 5 on Linux, and it inserts extra carriage returns in text areas. It's not a major problem if I post a pure HTML node because it doesn't render any differently, but it causes blank lines to appear when I post <CODE>. And every time I update a node, or submit after a preview it adds extra carriage returns making code posts unreadable, so I have to go back in and delete them all.

This could be fixed by adding one of these to the PM code...

$textarea =~ s/\r//g;
#or
$textarea =~ s[\r\n][\n]g;

note: You can see what I mean by viewing source. I don't know if pmdev have access to the code that I am talking about, so I'm happy to live with this. But also, maybe this Opera 6 handles this differently.
