Quick Draft: bottom border of content box cut off

[johnbillion]

The bottom of the content box in the Quick Draft dashboard widget is being cut off in certain circumstances. I'm seeing it on Android, and ocean90 is seeing in in Chrome on his desktop.

I'm wondering if we can just remove the expand bits. It would solve these problems. It's a bit weird — the input that's a few lines long shortens and then you're filling in the title. Then you get this separate "Enter a description" box. "What's on your mind?" and "Enter a description" are also basically opposites on the friendliness/attitude scale.

Or, if we keep them, I feel like "What's on your mind?" should put you in the content area, then the title field gets "Enter title here". UX-wise, that may be a little weird. But it would solve the problem of what to have for a label for the content. "Enter your content here" seems almost as cold (but at least more accurate) than "Enter a description".

I'm with @nacin.

• What's on your mind? is a prompt, like on Twitter or the p2 theme, not a field descriptor. It's also as nacin said, more appropriate to the body than the title.
• The body box changes size on expansion. At the very least, just make it the same size so it's less jarring.
• But really, yeah, why require the click to extra-expand at all? It's not a UI thing we use anywhere else, and for something called Quick it forces another action. Just have the whole box expanded by default.
• Description is not the same as Your Post. Description is meta rather than primary content. Not a good label here.

Really, it would make the most sense to use the same labels you use on the post screen for consistency. If you want to put What's on your mind? there i'd put it as a text prompt before the fields (like on p2s).

I attached a patch ​http://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/26463/26463.diff with the following changes:

• Quick Draft title and textarea are visible on default
• The title label says "Enter title here" (cold but consistent with new post label)
• The textarea label says "What´s on your mind" (warm and Quick Draft-ish, inconsistent with new post body label, there is none)
• Remove italic font-style for the labels (consistent with new post label)

Can you please test the patch.

"Enter a title" > "Title"

26463.2.diff makes one small change, instead of "Enter title here" (which I agree feels somewhat cold) I simplified it to "Title." Otherwise I think 26463.diff looks good.

MarkJaquith pointed out that "Enter title here" is what's used on post-new.php, so it makes sense to be consistent with what's already being used.

I'm good with it either way. Could buy the argument that this screen isn't just for posting so brevity is more acceptable.

In 26813:

Expand the Quick Draft section by default. Fixes #26463, props bassgang.
