When editing descriptions of tasks on the web (Chrome), I find the four lines too cramped. I know that there is a button on the right to maximize the view, which is helpful, but not very efficient when it adds more time and clicks to open and close. It currently shows me five lines; a few extra lines at least by default would give some helpful breathing room. I use the Android app and perceive it to feel more open since the description field is not squished. If you didn't want to push the other fields farther down the screen, perhaps the description could be placed after all of the other fields.
Actually, what would be even better is to form two columns of fields, with a large description field on the right and all of the others on the left. There is a lot of room on my screen that is not taken advantage of when that little edit box pops up.
I, personally, have no use for the comments field and would much rather have the description show up there while viewing a task.
In any case, you all have a nice, stable product that has run seamlessly for me. Thank you for your efforts!

When will this suggestion be incorporated into the edit field of the web interface. I just tried it, and it's the same limitation as I described last year. Plus, I just tried out the Windows version and found it to have the same problem. Please make use of a larger portion of the screen when editing. Again, I realize that one can click a button to expand it, but it's one more step that's unnecessary, when such screen real estate is available.
Also, the Windows version needs an edit button at the top of the box, not just below the description field. At first, I didn't even realize how to edit the first task I opened, because the description field is filled so that the edit button is out of frame. I then am forced to scroll through the entire contents of the description field before being able to edit the task. Since this is a productivity application, please streamline it to reduce the number of clicks and scrolls one needs to make.

This issue still has not been addressed, even after two years of requesting it. When editing an item in Windows app, the notes field is still just a few lines. My desktop computer has the largest screen, yet has the narrowest view when editing the notes field. There's no good reason for this limitation.

We are redesigning the UI in our next version, sorry that it takes so long. We are still trying to make Doit easier to use.
