TL;DR

Increase the size of the "Other" input box in the AskUserQuestion tool to allow for longer custom answers.

Guidance

• Consider adding a new settings field, such as "askUserQuestion.inputLines", to set a fixed visible height for the "Other" textarea.
• Alternatively, explore auto-expanding the textarea up to a certain number of lines as the user types.
• Review the provided error logs to ensure no underlying issues are contributing to the input box size limitation.
• Test the input box behavior in different terminal sizes and orientations to identify potential layout issues.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not specify the exact implementation details.

Notes

The proposed solutions focus on adjusting the textarea size, but it's essential to verify that the issue is not related to the terminal or environment settings.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by adjusting the terminal settings or using a different terminal emulator to see if the issue persists, as the provided errors do not directly relate to the input box size.
