I plan to use colab notebooks to teach my pupils (12-13 year olds) Python. We will start with using input() and display with print() to ask simple questions and display the answer.
One problem I have come across is when I use input() in a code cell with an input string a really long input box is produced (in the output area) to get the input value. It is so long that the window scrolls to the end of this empty input box, and you have to scroll back to read the question, even when the window is at full screen width . This is really strange as the input box is completely empty does not need to to be bigger than the window or frame.
Are there settings I can change to prevent this or can I do something with the css to reduce the size of this input box?
This may seem a trivial problem, but little things like this can be distracting and add to the frustration of learning the language so I would like to prevent it if I can.
I have attached a picture that shows the problem. picture that shows the problem.
