Please change all description fields' display size.  Please make it auto-size its height.    1.  When it does  not  have focus (so when it is  not  being edited), then it should be tall enough so that its entire text can be read without any scrolling within the description field itself.  (The user may still need to scroll the page if the description is that big.)     2.  When it  does  have focus (so when it  is  being edited), then it should still be tall enough to see the text being edited without scrolling, but it should not be any taller than the window area.  (max size = window height)     We use long descriptions sometimes with tables and bullet points, etc.  It's a big pain point for users to not be able to see more of the description than about 2 inches in height. </description><language>en-US</language><copyright>(C) Copyright 2006-2026 Inflectra Corporation.</copyright><managingEditor>support@inflectra.com</managingEditor><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Project_Management/</category><category domain="http://www.dmoz.org">/Computers/Software/Quality_Assurance/</category><generator>KronoDesk</generator><a10:contributor><a10:email>support@inflectra.com</a10:email></a10:contributor><a10:id>http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/forums/threads</a10:id><ttl>120</ttl><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/1139.aspx</link><item><guid isPermaLink="false">threadId=1139</guid><author>Jon Freed (jfreed@edmap.com)</author><category domain="http://www.inflectra.com/kronodesk/thread/tag">enhancements</category><title>Enhancement Request:  Auto-size description field's height to better display its text</title><description>

    FYI, here are the pertinent changes, just in case they are helpful to anybody.     (This pseudo-code will  not  execute, but you can use it to identify object identifiers.)     On page load, for every rich-text-edit display box:       // Change the display box to be 100% of height even if that requires scrolling in the window    oRteContainer.find("div.rteDiv").css("min-height","100px").css("height", "auto");    oRteContainer.css("height", "auto").parent().css('height','auto');      // Wait until until the Rich Text Editor Display Box is replaced  with the Rich Text Editor Edit Box    // (Wait until we can find the Rich Text Editor Edit box)   oRteContainer.find("iframe[id^='frm_cplMainContent_']").length &gt; 0        When the Rich Text Editor Edit Box becomes visible:       //  set the height of the Rich Text Editor edit iframe to its ideal height      // (ideal height is the display box's height plus a little but no more than window height minus the rich text editor's toolbar height)      oRteContainer.find("iframe[id^='frm_cplMainContent_']").css('height', iIdealEditHeight);         //  also make it resizable      oRteContainer.find("iframe[id^='frm_cplMainContent_']").css('resize', "vertical");           // Wait until the Rich Text Editor edit box is replaced with the Rich Text Editor display div  // (Wait until the display box is displayed)  oRteContainer.find("div.rteDiv").css("display") != "none"  // Then execute the on-page-load code again (above)      </description><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2015 16:44:37 -0500</pubDate><a10:updated>2015-02-26T16:44:37-05:00</a10:updated><link>/Support/Forum/spirateam/issues-questions/1139.aspx#reply2066</link></item></channel></rss>
