If I write "Discussion item title box width" as the title when posting this message, I can only see "Discussion item title b" (IE 6.0) or "Discussion item title box" (Firefox).

Might I humbly suggest that this box should be about twice as wide as it currently is? This would encourage more descriptive titles for posts :-)

    This won't help you directly, but I have the following CSS in my Display Settings:

    table.user-settings { 
    width: 100%; 
}

textarea {
  width: 100%;
  /* -moz-border-radius : 10px; */
}
textarea:focus, input:focus, select:focus, option:focus {
    border-bottom-style: dashed;
    background: #f4f4ff;
}

    Having textarea { width: 100% } as an !important CSS setting in your browser is something I'm seriously considering, and that would be an option even for you.

      As usual, put this in your Display Settings. 

      /* composing a new node: */
input[type="text"][name="node"],
/* editing a note you wrote: */
input[type="text"][name="note_title"],
/* wikis, faqlets, doclets, doclists, docstrings: */
input[type="text"][name="update_title"],
/* other specific node types: */
input[type="text"][name="categorized question_title"], 
input[type="text"][name="categorized answer_title"], 
input[type="text"][name="perltutorial_title"], 
input[type="text"][name="CUFP_title"],

      He seems to be talking about the title entry field, not the node content textarea.
