Continuing the discussion from [Better handling of site settings with large amount of content (big lists)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/better-handling-of-site-settings-with-large-amount-of-content-big-lists/90042/27):

Hi there,

couple thoughts on this feature after spending some time with it in auto-linkify theme. 🙂

1. The width of the existing fields is a bit too narrow and does not match the width of the input field (tested on Latest Firefox and Chromium on Linux Mint):

1. It would be nice if the whole content was displayed on hoover.

2. Maybe I am just stupid, but it already happened to me at least twice that I typed in several entries, but then forgot to click on the green checkmark, navigated away from the theme and then was super-surprised that I lost what I typed in.  
I know this behaviour is consistent with how other settings work, but wouldn’t it make sense in this case to autosave, especially given how much one can loose? Note that it is extra confusing cause when I hit enter after typing, a new field is created and I intuitively expect it to stay there.

3.

Yep, this is also quite confusing.
