Jason,

The “Rows to Display” property actually shouldn’t show up for Rich Text fields. Since you can change the size of the fonts within a Rich Text area, the idea of a consistent unit called “row” is a bit problematic. We’ll log this as a bug and get the property removed in a future update.

Now, as to why the text area is showing as a single thin line at the start, that’s an odd one. Which browser are you using? What version of Skuid are you running? Do you have any errors in your JavaScript console?

Is there any way to ensure that a rich text field box is at least a minimum height initially?

yes, there is:

.nx-richtext-input {<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; min-height: 5em;<br>}

J, We are on Skuid release 7.12 and I’m using Firefox.

Hey J, I just checked in Chrome and it displays a single line correctly. So it seems like a bug in Firefox.

Thanks for the css Matt I will try that out.
