    Hi Alkesh,
    Thanks for reporting this! This issue usually happens because the comment box auto-adjusts its height on focus, or long unbroken text forces the container layout to collapse/warp when the input loses focus (focusout / blur).
    Here is a clean, standard CSS fix to ensure the box keeps its structure, wraps long text properly, and maintains its square shape regardless of focus state:

    code
    CSS
    /* Ensure the comment wrapper retains consistent dimensions */
    .comment-box-container {
    width: 100%;
    max-width: 350px; /* Adjust to match design specs */
    aspect-ratio: 1 / 1; /* Retains square aspect ratio */
    box-sizing: border-box;
    }

    /* Fix for textarea long text distortion & focus/blur shifts */
    .comment-box-container textarea,
    .comment-form-comment textarea {
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 12px 16px;

    /* Prevent manual handle distortion */
    resize: none;

    /* Handle long unbroken text, URLs, and scrolling */
    overflow-y: auto;
    overflow-wrap: break-word;
    word-break: break-word;
    white-space: pre-wrap;

    /* Keep consistent height between focus and blur states */
    transition: border-color 0.2s ease, box-shadow 0.2s ease;
    }

    /* Ensure focus-out/blur doesn’t jump or collapse height */
    .comment-box-container textarea:focus,
    .comment-box-container textarea:not(:placeholder-shown) {
    /* Retain fixed dimension state when filled */
    height: 100%;
    }

    Hope this helps!
