 > From a personal taste standpoint, I agree with you, however someone
 somewhere must have found this a useful enough feature to sit down and
 code it.  I see no reason why we should throw away the work that someone
 did, when the options could coexist with near trivial amounts of work.

 I agree! Even though I'm not a fan of it I'm in no way not dissing the
 effort or work.  It'd be a nice feature to have, but why remove the resize
 feature??

 The resizing of the input box was my favorite feature, and i was a bit
 annoyed that i was just discarded.  I actually went back to version 2.3.1.
 I mean really, was there that much of an issue with allowing users to
 resize their input box??

 I could've understood modifying input box where you could still resize
 manually but if the text became too big it'd auto resize the box...a
 middle ground!

 Please make this a feature that can be turned on from preferences, not a
 requirement.
