Who has had a problem with the Item Description box getting smaller as you type?

[Okuma]

Trying to find out what is causing the item description box in the new "post an ad" form to shrink for some folks.

If this has happened to you, please post in here and provide any details you can, such as:

• Browser and Browser Version being used. Does it happen if you use a different browser on the same computer?
• Browser add-ons being used, like toolbars, widgets, etc.
• Are you using Windows, Mac, Cell Phone, etc. And what version are you using.
• Any other info that could possibly be relevant.
• Can you provide a screenshot or video of what is happening?

Hopefully we can find the problem, the developer keeps saying it's impossible, but something is causing it to happen.

It happens to me all the time since the change.

Could you help me out with some of the info in the first post?

Can you go to Help > About Internet Explorer and tell us the version it says? Also, do you have special toolbars in the browser, like Yahoo?

Dandry is having the problem too and he is on internet explorer 7, is everyone else that is having the problem using the same browser and version?

I deleted references to the PM thing trader Ron mentioned, as it is completely unrelated to this problem and I want to stay on point with this

I've had the same issue. The text box shrinks for every key stroke until it disappears. I'm on a HP laptop with Win XP and ver 8.0 explorer

Copy that...did you catch my on-topic comments, though? Seems to be an IE related issue...no trouble on Linux or iOS.

I agree, seem older versions of IE are effected.
