Hi all,

Is the zoomed text editor coming back, or is the new location in the status bar permanent? The reason I'm asking is that I don't usually have the status bar displayed.

i agree!
i also don't have the status bar visible usually.

Is there any chance we will get resizable textareas like in Safari, rather than (or in addition to) the zoomed text editor? I love the resizable textareas, and they are far more elegant than the zoomed text editor IMO.

Keep in mind that we also added a menu option in the Edit menu and Context menu for text areas. There's also the shortcut Command-Option-E.

For those interested in the Safari resizable text area. We're creating a hidden preference that will enable them in OmniWeb. Or you can create a custom style sheet that includes this:

textarea {
resize: both !important;
}

Looks like builds after r89238 will enable resizable textareas with this default command in the terminal:

defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniWeb5 ShowResizableTextAreas -bool true

That's excellent news - the CSS hack also works very well with the current build!
