How to make contenteditable div with Bootstrap form-control class auto resize for content?

Question

When I add the "form-control" class to a contenteditable div, the auto resize feature of the div breaks it seems. Try to add new lines to the div and you will see in the snippet.

Answer 1

The .form-control element is having a height set to 34px by the 'bootstrap.min.css'. You need to override it using,

.container .form-control {
  height: auto;
}
