Summary: Edit window size not honored

Initial Comment:
Setting the edit window size in UserPreferences to a size 
other than the default is giving odd results.

Sometimes the window is displayed correctly until any 
editing is done when it reverts to the default width.

Sometimes the new setting is ignored.

I need to reduce the width of the window to 65 as the 
rightside bar themes (rightside and nirlo2) hide the edit 
text. (which may be another bug)

This happens on my wiki running 1.2.2 and 
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ The browser did not 
seem to be a factor (IE6 and Firefox 0.9)

the question is if we rather should remove the cols setting
from userpref (does it make any sense?) or if we remove the
width=100% (who would want to use less?).

rightside and nirlo2 seem to be fixed on
moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de, please check it there.

The problem has been traced to PageEditor.py line 316.
This is:
self.request.write('<textarea name="savetext" rows="%d" 
cols="%d" style="width:100%%">%s</textarea>'

The 'style=' is overriding the 'cols='. This implies that the cols 
setting doesn't work for left sided themes either. 
When  'style="width:100%%' is removed, the textarea shrinks 
to what you'd expect when you supply a 'cols=65'. It even 
shrinks with the default value of 80. This means that when 
this is fix is applied the usual editor window will shrink.
