Reputations input textbox

[RhinoBull]

Can it be changed to multiline?
It's difficult to scroll text with the arrow keys, Home/End keys don't work either.
You have to either press Shift+Right/Left Arrow or select text with the mouse to get to first or last character.

edit: I'm using IE8 so I'm not sure whether or not it works the same way in some other browsers.

Thanks.

We'd have to change the underlying software to do that and as you may know we don't do that very often. In any case I assume that the input is meant to be short and sweet and anything longer could be sent in an associated PM. BTW the Home and End keys do work, it just takes 2 or 3 seconds for them to react.

Thanks Marty, I'm certainly aware of that. However, I would still like this to be presented to the powers that be simply because it's a bug that must be fixed one way or another.

Perhaps, but it could also be bitter and longer than available space...

It's a bug - it should not take that long.



Thanks again.
