V7.3 Account and Contact Description Field Display Size

Hi Just upgraded to V7.3 and noticed the box displaying the description field on both Account and Contact records can not be resized horizontally. Dragging the bottom right corner of the display box only changes the height.

In 7.2 version

In 7.3 version

@uma.s can you please help me in solving this

@uma.s This does look bloody stupid.

I just had a customer complain about it whilst testing a migrated system from vtiger 5.4.0:

"MAKE "DESCRIPTION TEMPLATES" BOX WIDER / LONGER SO NOT WRAPPING TEXT - PLENTLY OF SPACE ON THE BAR... SO I DONT UNDERSTAND, THIS IS NOT AN IMPROVEMENT TO VT..... "

@uma.s That seems an odd way to fix it - simply setting it to 200px instead of 100px. On todays large monitors that will still look pretty daft.

For my customers I add some custom CSS to make it fit the viewport:

/* Fix stupid Description box sizing in Detail View */
.fieldBlockContainer .inputElement.textAreaElement {
    max-width:none;
    width: 100%;
}

.detailview-table textarea.inputElement.form-control {
    max-width:none;
    width: 90%;
}

@lord_alan This change looks fine in edit-view, But in detail-view is this not affecting the other textarea elements, Such as Mailing country, other country in Contacts detail-view ajax edit?

Milestone changed to 7.4.0

@uma.s Nope - it seems to be fine (this is an Account record in Detail view):
