Description

Is your Feature Request Related to a Problem?

I am not exactly happy with the styling of the textArea or editor due to their scaling behaviors. They're less visually customizable than I would like, but the functionality is great.

Describe the Feature you'd Like

I wish that the textArea and editor input fields allowed for an option that would keep the height at the minimum height, so if there was no text it would look like an empty input box, then once you put a bunch of text in it would auto resize to fit the content.

I'm attempting to make a CSS snippet to do this right now, but it's really frustrating. Having this built-in would be amazing and I'm confident others would benefit from it.

Research direction

Start with the linked textarea and editor input-field documentation pages, then locate the corresponding implementations in the plugin. Check how their minimum heights and content changes are currently handled. Done means both fields can opt into a minimum-height mode that grows to fit entered text without changing the existing default behavior.
