User oga is trying to increase the size of the Reply TextArea in their Discourse forum, which is currently very small. ludwikc suggests adding a CSS code to increase the textarea height, but it doesn’t work for oga.
ludwikc’s suggestion is to add the following code to the site’s CSS:
.d-editor-textare a-wrapper textarea {
height: 150px; /** adjust accordingly **/
}
User oga applies the code but still faces the issue. Lilly asks if the editor textarea is normal size in safe mode, and oga confirms it is. merefield points out that a theme component might be the issue.
After investigating, Lilly tests the Mint theme and it works as expected. oga notices the “Choose Next Topic” plugin, but claims not to have it installed. Firepup650 clarifies that the plugins listed are actually theme components.
merefield and Moin suspect the “Choose Next Topic” plugin to be the cause of the issue. After disabling the plugin, oga confirms that it resolves the issue.
The solution to the problem is to disable the “Choose Next Topic” plugin, as marked by oga.
Add the following to the CSS of your site:
.d-editor-textarea-wrapper textarea {
height: 150px; /** adjust accordingly **/
}
Maybe there is something I am doing wrong.
.d-editor-textarea-wrapper textarea {
height: 250px; /** adjust accordingly **/
}
Is what mine looks like using your snippet. Still the same.

Here is what I did.
I created a New Theme Component,
I added your snippet to the HEAD section of the CSS.
I applied it to both Mobile and Desktop, but still the same.
What have I done wrong?
how big is the editor text box in safe mode?
In safe mode, it displays ok, as expected; same size as here at Meta.
Once out of Safe-mode, it reverts.
Here is the link.

Thank you!! I have looked and looked and just can’t see anything else. Perhaps a Theme issue.
Hope the Theme Author take a look. I link the Mint Theme. Thats the theme in question.
Wondering if anyone else has same issue.
Thanks so much
Are you sure it’s not “Choose Next Topic” topic chaining plugin?
I think this is the issue.
Those are theme components not plugins, what do you see on /admin/plugins?
Interesting, If I go into Full Screen, it works ok.
![]()
So, If a user choses fullscreen, it works ok. So, is thus an expected behavior?
my screenshot was not in full screen mode. if I use fullscreen it covers the whole browser window as expecrted.
Exactly. So, something is wrong, but I can’t seem to figure it out.
Wonder why it works for you. Have tested on 6 different machines, both Windows and Mac.
That looks like the same list twice, just to clarify, that’s the full list of plugins?
You can’t use the sidebar as the exhaustive list of installed plugins!
This is not necessarily a complete list.
Look at the plugins admin route and your app.yml.
You can also increase the size of the composer at the upper border.
But of course, it’s better to fix the customization
