“Snake Montoya” has a legit complaint about this not working with his voice recognition software. A bit beyond that, I have to say that the new chat box looks hideous in Firefox on Linux. It has terrible text kearning which means some letters run together (or get w e ir d l y sp a c ed ou t) as you type; and it’s also too tall… About the height of 1.8 lines of text. Too tall for a single line, and it still has to auto-expand taller if you wrap to a second line.
Whatever the “plans” are for the chat bar, I hope those plans include fixing the stuff that just broke. It looks ugly, is harder to read things you’ve typed, and it apparently breaks accessibility for at least one disabled person.
