Change layout for Edit Action box

[dnrce]

Migrated from the original issue at https://www.assembla.com/spaces/tracks-tickets/tickets/265

I use the Edit Action box a lot to keep a running update of the task status, email snippets, etc. There are a few simple changes that would make it a bit more useful:

1. Increase the text box size (maybe even configurable)
2. Have a button that would pop-up a much larger standalone text box in its own browser window (like some of the blog 'Add a comment' features do)
3. Add Submit and Cancel to the top of the window since often times they're off the bottom of the screen.

I changed the view template for my own installation to deal with 1 and 3 and I like it better, though something like this may be highly user dependent.

Regards,
Jim

At some point, I'm thinking about changing all the forms to hovering windows using DHTML (like the edit box for appointments in Google Calendar and a similar one in 30boxes.com. So this would allow a lot more space without taking up room on the page.

I think this issue can be closed. The text field can be increased by dragging the lower right corner (in recent browsers at least?) and I don't see an issue with the buttons' positions. Besides, the popup can be closed by pressing Enter (in certain input fields).
