Done - Suggestion: Make Note Field Expandable

Hello,


I have the following suggestion:


Displaying the notes in a textarea element instead of an input element.


It would look like something in the attachment.


The reason being, it's easier to read longer notes. Also, by default it's possible to adjust the size of the box which is great for this purpose. The result shown in the attachment was achieved by replacing the input element with the textarea element, directly in the Dev Tools of the browser, just to showcase how it could potentially look like.


Cheers!

When you say "notes", do you mean "translations"? Because there is another field for notes lower down.


Either way, everyone is different, but I want short translations that pop-up when I mouse over. That way I can read without breaking my stride; I'm not expecting the translation to be exhaustive - just enough for me to get the gist. I select short definitions; if there are none, I create my own.

For translations, I usually go with short definitions for the same reasons you described.


I meant the notes input box. I figured it could be used for adding a more in depth explanation to certain expressions and what not.

In that case, looking at your screenshot, I don't understand what would change. Do you mean you want the box to be expandable? Or located higher up?

My suggestion is to make the notes box expandable, in order to be able to read longer notes more easily.
