Attachment: dialogue for entering comments

When handing in the translation of an article for reviewing, I'm offered a dialogue with a line for entering a comment (looks the same in Safari and Firefox, at least on Mac). While the restriction on comment length seems sensible to me, I think it would be helpful for comment editing to actually make the line a box, so that the comment as a whole becomes visible.

I think this is possible as a lot of people still leave long comments. Can we do this?

Hi, using a line instead of a box is intentional. The line is supposed to be short, because it will be shown together with many other summaries. We don't want to impose a hard limit, since there might be cases where longer strings are necessary, but the norm should be to summarize it shortly.
