Why, all of a sudden, do we have a big comment box in Canvas? I liked the box that expanded as needed.

Hi @KatherineJudd ...

Are you referring to the partial RCE (Rich Content Editor) that is now available in the SpeedGrader? If so, this was part of a recent Canvas Deploy Notes. Check out this link for more details:

I think it's great that a partial RCE is now available in SpeedGrader. I like that I can draw attention to key points by using boldface.

I also need the comment box to go back to the smaller adjustable size.

Please return the assignment comment boxes back to the size they used to be.

I now have to scroll down for every comment I make in order to submit it.

On a typical week I make over 216 comments and fewer mechanical movements in my arthritic hands would be very helpful (and more accessible).

It is an extra movement that I never had to make before (previously I could adjust the space to accommodate).

Gradebook Color Status for Incomplete 2-Part Discussions (Discussion Checking-point)
