Hi there,
Edit-fields in forms like the one below appear to be much slower than
the usual Edit-Template.

<$edit-text field="references" default=""
placeholder={{$:/MetaTabs/Language!!reference}} style="heigth:30px"
tag="textarea"/><br>

Sometimes the focus eve jumps away...

Is there something that can be done about this. Is this just
personalperception or am I doing something wrong.
Is there a trick to avoid this?

And another question:
The Field-height does not react to the style in the code nor to the
class in the stylesheet. Is there a special spell to change the height.

Thanks Jan

Yes, there are some interesting quirks with the TextAreaWdget. Here are some.. semi-answers;

The speed I don't know what to do about, but it is related to if the content you're editing is used e.g if there is a recalculation using the content.

Particularly macros refresh the page so this is why you loose focus after each key press.

The size confusion is one I've commented on here.

Hej Mat,
thanks for liberating me of the feeling to be stupid.

<$edit-text tiddler="target" class="myclass" field="text" autoHeight="no"/>

autoHeight="no" that should be documented somewhere...

Well, correction...I feel even more stupid now.
Even implanting editor and style of your http://test21.tiddlyspot.com/#editor to my Wiki gives me editingfields About 20em high...not just 2 as desired.

Thou shallst not curse...

Hi Jan,

In your $:/MetaTabs/newReference Lang, I think you need to clear float.
