Cannot save comments in the record details page

Submitted by Barry Walter on

Since since yesterday (28th Nov 2025), I can no longer save comments in the record details page. This is a real problem, because it means I cannot respond to verifiers when they ask for more information. It seems quite important to get this fixed quickly, as the verifiers may think their requests are being ignored. Another related issue, is that the comment text-box itself has been made really small, which means it has to be resized every time it's used.

I have to concur about the size of the comment box, it's ridiculously small, you could maybe fit two words in it.

It's just caused by the person who coded that section of the page forgetting to set an explicit value for the box size. The default size for a <textarea> tag in HTML is generally 20 cols by 2 rows although this may vary slightly depending on which browser you're using. That's an easy fix so hopefully it will be corrected very soon.

Yes I had the same issue too, Martin had a query about one of my robberfly records and it wouldn't save my reply in the newly-tiny comments box.
