Description

Usability Issue:

  • In the Media Modal the Title field currently is an <input type=text> and as such is single line only.
  • Scrolling a ~50 character long title within a ~20 char text field sucks.
  • Soft wrapping would really benefit longer media titles in terms of instant readability and easy editing.

Solution Approaches:

  1. Leaving it a <input type=text> and tweak it to soft wrapping with CSS only.
  1. Alternative approach: Use a <textarea> with its built in soft-wrapping and resize-ability, integrated with contemporary responsive web design techniques, and ensure that the user can not unintentionally insert linebreaks.
  • This seems to be the viable solution.
  • Googled & DuckDuck'ed CMS-agnostic, but by coincidence found WordPress specific solution even.
  • JS which intercepts ENTER control characters.
  • To be ultra safe (does it need to be?) this would also need server-side validation (in case JS is bypassed somehow (un)intentionally).
