 * When trying to edit a page, the text area for editing was only displaying partially.
   I checked out the error I was receiving in firefox and it pointed to autogrow.
   js file. After checking it out, I saw that the code `// IE is different, as per
   usual
    if ($.browser.msie)` was throwing an error. Upon further checking I noticed
   that this file was version 1.2.2 and the newest version is 1.2.3. I then changed
   line (approximately) 103 to `if (jQuery.browser.msie)` And all is working perfectly
   now. Just a heads up you might say. Thanks for the plugin!!

 * Thanks, works in Firefox 3.0.8 but not in IE8 – still only keyhole. I use original
   1.2.2, good enough solution for now. Very useful plugin, hope he keep it simple.

 * [@peterb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/peterb/): I’ve added your patch.
   Thanks again.
 * [@bambo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bambo/): without autogrow, the textarea
   will be 250px high. Hope that’s not too bad.

 * No should be enough space for quick-edits – what the main purpose is anyway. 
   Works in IE8 now. Was about to suggest a scrollbar but then again would it not
   just take up unnecessary space for those quick-edits? Some have narrow themes
   as well. Average post-length is not 1 mile, at least not in text-format.
