Server: Not possible to post multi line comments anymore

[nickvergessen]

Since https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/714
Neither Enter nor Shift + Enter work.
Would be nice to get that back @jancborchardt

The design changes look really good btw.

Yep I noted that in the issue as well.
Maybe we could just catch CTRL+enter and then convert to a textarea?

Altough that might be great cross browser fun.

It was intentionally changed to single-line comments because it’s intended to be a quick comment function, not writing a whole bunch of text.

This is odd, apps that use comments for "longer" context now have to use a different style then the server feature?

[jancborchardt]

Right, good point. If you’d like to change it then a few things would be good:

• don’t make it too high, 3 rows maximum
• use https://github.com/jackmoore/autosize so the input field automatically resizes, and remove the resize handle (like we do in the mail app)
• have the icon-confirm button float in the bottom right of the textarea like it does now in the input field
• make Ctrl-Enter submit the comment

Does that sound good?

[nickvergessen]

Sounds good :+1:
