# Comment box too big!

 * A user complained that the comment box was too wide (maybe he’s using 800×600
   resolution)? Anyways, if he has a really long comment, the text at the far right
   of the line will disappear as the right side nav bar overrides the text. I’m 
   pretty much still at a default WordPress setting. Any help? Thanks

 * Thanks for the help. It does look like it works, but when I click on the comment
   box to type on it, then it expands again. Any idea why that is ?

 * Oh yeah, I edited the cols for wp-comments-popup.php and -reply.php too, and 
   still the same issue…

 * Couldn’t resist it. I am an addict. But I have reduced my support for certain
   types of borked layouts. 🙂
