Summary13455: Text input size? -> misleading
Description

Text input size is quite misleading imo because a beginner would associate this function to the size of the input text

If you change the value from the respective box, the area/size of the box where you introduce the input changes.

Maybe the name could be changed into:

  • Text area size or,
  • Text input box size

In 2.6lts (and 1.93 or 1.80 maybe before) : this settings set the attribute size of text input and col of textarea. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input

But Louis in 2.5X didn't understand this and set it to the input css width.

Rename it as you think it is appropriate. You don't have to ask me about this.

@DenisChenu, "text input box size" ... does it sound fine? Or "text input box width"?

For me size seems OK and clear
