#4826 (ok 4.4.12) Two inline edit windows

[Isaac Bennetch]

When using inline edit to modify a TEXT column, if there are more than 60 characters present you get two edit windows; one is the standard inline edit and the second is the larger window that pops up below designed for larger portions of text.

See the attachment for an example.

We should disable the smaller window in this case.

Looks like this was intended originally. When you edit the content they get synchronized between the two editors also. I'm not sure and do not have a strong feeling about whether this is a bug of whether it is a feature :)

The code segment responsible for this behavior is https://github.com/phpmyadmin/phpmyadmin/blob/master/js/makegrid.js#L975-L983
Removing this code segment fixes the issue.

I find it confusing and obtrusive, so I'd like to change the behavior. No one else has commented so my guess is no one feels strongly about keeping it. So if it suits you, my suggestion is to remove the inline edit window and only use the larger one in this case.

Any feedback?

I agree that this behavior is confusing and should be removed.
