Please change the 2.4.0 input field's resize behaviour

[Some user]

I agree with the original post. I can't figure out why this would have been
changed. I want my window to be whatever size I want it. Currently I can
only see about 2 lines of text, then it switches to scroll at 4 lines. Very
annoying if I want to see my whole message.
