This function seems not to work at all for me (4.0 RC1). I had to modify box width in pixels in Layout/CSS, which is probably overriding that option:
#joomlacommentform textarea {
    width: 600px;/*400px;*/
    height: 150px;/*200px;*/
    border: 1px solid #999999;/*#CCCCCC;*/
    background-color: #BABABA; /*zmieniono*/
}

You are right, this is all styled with css and this setting is obsolete now.

What do you mean? This CSS selector works 100% and is used in the modern template.

EDIT: If you mean the rows="123" columns="456" in the HTML, yeah they are only there for backwards compatibility incase CSS is not recognized (they don't need to be there really but they are not code-depreciated as far as I know so they can stay)

I mean that setting in the component menu shouldn't be there if it doesn't work anymore. I also think that changing size of those boxes from admin pannel would be handy.

Oh I see. Well, the admin backend setting would be handy but I think the best idea is to let the template/CSS decide how big the textarea should be.

New versions will have a seperate "Template" tab which will allow further customization of template specifics (with real-time preview) without diving into CSS code. I'm working on this right now actually.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Pawel, and reminding me how important it is to make options for everything!
