Do you have any idea how to fix this?
If it is what I think it is then it requires quite a bit of work to the core - it is not a simple fix

Okay thanks

What problem is it causing?

The corner of that box can be dragged to any size anyway. It keeps expanding to the character limit. The profile page then resizes it all to fit the space anyway.

Nobody said removing it should fix something. Also it can break the layout in any other places the property is used. But if you ok with that, you can try width: auto and clear the browser cache.

i meant remove the inputbox class from textarea tag, not from css.
your right, overriding with width: auto fixes the issue! thank you,
but what is the proper way to permanently fix the problem?

Apparently by adding style="width: auto;" to the tag.

The issue is that particular one - width is overriding cols for textarea. That is just how HTML/CSS works.
