Comment field - textarea

[tiomanisland]

Can you please make comment field in phpMyAdmin to be <textarea> instead of field. It is extremely hard to write anything into comment field with so little space. We put whole sentences or short explanation into that field and few characters is simply not enough to see.

When people suggest something, do you have a list of upcoming changes so we can know if someone has read requests? Thank you!

@williamdes Can you please tell me about which text area @tiomanisland is talking about? I would like to work on this.

Is @tiomanisland talking about this?

The maximum length for this field is 60. Do I need to increase the maximum length or the size of the visible text of this field should be 60?

@williamdes waiting for your answer.

@akkywadhwa I think @tiomanisland is talking about the table and column comment fields
Maybe MySQL and MariaDB have restrictions on the length of the comments
Using a textarea could be a good idea :)

Hello guys, glad to see someone is here. I am talking about comment field next to each column (not the table comment you marked on that pic) but this one - https://prnt.sc/m99j0o - it is very hard to enter anything longer than 10 characters because you have to scroll left and right, not to mention weird chrome/windows 10 behaviour with input boxes. if someone can change this to textarea it would be awesome! Just make it <textarea rows=1> - this way it won't be any higher than it is now and we will be able to resize it in browsers. Try to enter a comment which is one sentence long, then edit it and add/remove something, you will see it is a nightmare.

The limit is not a problem, I can write a lot in there, the problem is small input field...
