What was the necessity to make the "Cover Letter" box tinier?

What was the necessity to make the "Cover Letter" box tinier?

Could you please bring back the last size...bigger than this?
It is an unnecessary change and it is very inconvenient to read.

Just drag the lower right hand corner to make the box bigger.

 

Or type cover letter in a text editor program, then copy and paste.

Thank you very much!

 

I was annoyed about the small area for a proposal and didn't realize I could make it larger by dragging the lower right-hand corner. Thanks, Preston!

Norma, that you?

The Upwork bid window (for typing in bid text) seems to have gotten smaller recently. Has anyone else changed their bid length with the new window, and if so, has your success rate changed?

 

I've always been a bit on the long side, so I decided to try something new and started sending out much shorter bids with a stronger CTA for a Zoom call at the end.

 

This has been pretty unsuccessful, as I seem to be getting even fewer interviews than I was before.

 

Maybe I'm just having an unlucky streak? Has anyone else tried this?

I apologize if this question was already posted.

It seems there were some changes in sending proposals.

It also seems one of those changes is to make a cover letter windows small without a possibility to expand it, so one is forced to scroll up and down to read the entire thing.  

Is there a reason for this except to annoy freelancers that are trying to submit proposals? 🙂

Hi Filip,

 

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'll make sure to pass it to our team for review.

 

Meanwhile, you should be able to resize the window dragging bottom right corned down (screenshot for reference).
