What happened?

With the update to rich text (phenomenal addition btw), the resize handle for descriptions in the edit modal is no longer available. I believe this was a feature before the most recent update (2.19.0). Now that I'm going back through all of my books to update the descriptions, this feature is more necessary than ever!

What did you expect to happen?

Resize handle should be available in the bottom right corner of the description box while editing books to make the text box larger or smaller.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Click the edit button on a book
  2. Check the bottom right corner of the description box where the resize handle was previously

Audiobookshelf version

2.19.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Windows Tray App

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Windows

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Logs


Additional Notes

Tell me if I'm crazy and this feature was never there, I could very easily be misremembering.

I can confirm this is missing in 2.19.0 and was present in 2.18.1

The following screenshot is from 2.18.1.

Yes, this was mistakenly removed when I replaced the description textrea with the rich text editor.
Sorry about this, I'll work on bringing it back.
