I use the application mainly to store secure Notes, not just passwords.
It is a pain to edit notes because the box is too small and the window size is fixed.
Please make borders draggable, just like the main window, so it's easy to edit text in notes.

Thanks!

    The KeeResize plugin will resize the edit entry dialog.

    Thank you for your reply. I will try KeeResize plugin.
    On a separate note, I read the rationale at that link for not making Note resizable, and I must say I disagree with it ("making the entry dialog resizable just to get a larger notes field is not a good solution", "ruins the UI experience", etc.)

    In my opinion, password is just a subset of larger case of secret data.
    Notes can be just as (or more) secret.

    IMHO, KeePass would be even more useful, if it adopted that thinking, and in this case good Note entry dialog is essential, without any plugins.

    Besides, the proposed workaround using attachments does not work very well on mobile devices, where ports of KeePass are also available.

    Again, thank you for your help.

    You could attach the notes as files and use the internal secure editor to do the work. KeePass supports several formats for the internal editor.
