Full-sized Notes box with one click.

It’s tedious to have to expand the Notes box manually with 6 separate steps. There should be a button (or other simple method) to expand Notes to be the full size of the right pane, in a single click.

The forum suggests similar threads, and I see 2 people previously posting threads, throughout the years, requesting a ‘larger notes field’, the first one having not seen the pull-down corner-tab on the bottom-right to expand the box, then someone simply requesting a bigger Notes field area than 6 lines, with no replies to that second request.

Walk-though of the issue: I open Bitwarden and search for an entry that has some lengthy text information I need to refer-to and also update. E.G. network configuration information, pointing to which device has which mac and which IP and the assigned name. I am presented with a ‘Additional Options’ - Notes - box that only displays 5 lines of text. I can scroll down within the box, or I can, after finding the entry, and making Bitwarden full-screen:

  1. Tap ‘Edit’
  2. Grab the handle on the bottom-right of ‘Additional Options’ (Notes) and pull it down until it is at the bottom of the right pane. I now have a whole 12 lines of visible text.
  3. I move my mouse cursor to the right-most scroll bar on the right pane, which is now allowing me to scroll down to increase the amount of room to display Notes (it was not before step 1).
  4. I scroll down all the way
  5. I now have a WHOLE 20 lines of text i can see in the Notes field.
  6. Finally, I repeat step 1 and grab the bottom-right corner of the Notes field and pull it down again, to the bottom of the screen.
  7. Only by now, are there are 28 lines of text available to edit, and only now has the Notes field taken up the entire right-pane.

6 steps to make the Notes field useful/editable, when there could be a single Expand button, just above the ‘Copy’ button, to expand the Notes field to the entire size of the right pane, whether in Edit or View mode.

This is actually a bug (regression) that was introduced in version 2025.6.1 (until then, the Notes field automatically expanded to fill the available window size in the Desktop app):
