RC4: Rows attribute doesn't resize textarea when no content

[chr22]

Textareas are always rendered with only one row if there isn't any content in it.

See this CodePen

It also limits the height of the textarea to the number of rows set.

Yeah.

• The limit of the textarea is the intentional behavior.

Here is again my second fix for the textarea, this one should work better.

temporary "hack":
fill your binded model with '\n' for the amount of rows you want.

html:
<textarea required name="message" ng-model="contactDetails.message" rows="5"></textarea>

js (controller):

$scope.contactDetails = {
        ....
        message: "\n\n\n\n\n" //fix for textarea remaining at 1 row.
    };

+1, very confusing, as you'd expect rows="5" to allocate 5 empty rows.
This is essential since you sometimes want to show a big empty textarea so the user gets that they can put in a long message.
