Project notes online editor is way too small.

I usually have a pretty long description for my projects, and the online editor constantly makes it near-impossible to edit these descriptions once they're on the website.

Would it be possible to make the notes editor bigger, so I don't have to continue to copy and paste my descriptions in and out of Notepad to edit them?

Meh. I'm just asking politely. -_-

Re: Project notes online editor is way too small.

Yeah, I definitely agree. I don't have much of a problem though, but it's still annoying. But that's for updating notes... at least you can start out with them sorted by typing them up before you share. Just remember to click edit on your project notes (on your project, but online), do nothing, and click "ok".

There is kinda problem, Chrischb - Scratch server doesn't replace new line with <br> tag properly, so people have to edit notes to get <br> tags back. And if the notes are really long, it takes almost impossible amounts of time...

I definitely agree. And sometimes the box just keeps scrolling back to the top, it's so small the scrollbar doesn't even do anything.

It scrolls like that whenever I try to copy and paste something, however [ctrl] + [c] or [ctrl] + [v] works.

I just click on the project notes and then click OK, and it seems to fix the problem...

Only on Safari, which is also for windows, so you can do it on both.
