I like the dialog expanding thing -- but that's not on hover over the text box, it's on click/touch/select/entry into the text box, right? Or you really mean hover? It seems to me it'd be annoying on hover, but maybe I'd have to see it.

On hover, with a 1s delay to expand. In practice that means the window usually expands as you start writing into it. And it's hard to trigger by accident.

I haven't tried on active yet, but suspect that that would not persist after I released the mouse button. With hover. so long as the mouse stays over the textarea and surrounding frame, it remains expanded.

I've posted code:
