Comment (by dbeusee):

 With auto-sizing, I don't agree the output is more important when you are
 typing away.  You have seen the output already, and you can scroll it.  I
 rather have a 90% cap in the input size.

 One thing should be obvious by now... The way to make EVERYONE people
 happy is with OPTIONS.  Most want manual sizing and would be perfectly
 happy with NO auto-sizing at all, but we are willing to meet 1/2 way by
 putting up with it if it is an OPTION that can be turned OFF.  And if you
 want more people to use auto-sizing, have the min and max be OPTIONS, AS
 WELL.

 Are you developers LISTENING?  I mean REALLY LISTENING to us?  If you
 care, please SHOW US you care.  Restore manual sizing and put this ticket
 to rest!
