Improvement on caption editor
Right now it's a little clunky and difficult to editor captions/transcripts.
First, if I try to edit the transcript, the field box is constrained and doesn't allow me to expand the dimensions of the box. So if I want to make a change to the text, I need to click inside the box and press the down arrow button several times to get to where I want to be (and to be able to see it).
The other issue is that I can't change transcripts/captions on the fly. I have to make several clicks to stop the video, go in and click in the text field, make the change in the text, click out of it and hit play to keep going. It would be great to have less clicks to be able to just hit stop or play and change the text without having to click in several places.

Another issuer with caption editing is how the editor changes the size of the font when you click in the text field and start editing. It's really problematic because if you're reading the captions while playing the video, your eyes are focused on specific positions (coordinates) on the screen. But the moment you click to edit, the text enlarges, your eyes have to re-locate the text, you make an edit, you resume playback, but the text shrinks so you have to re-locate the text again.
Adobe could make the text bold (while preserving line-length) and/or change the color to indicate the text is being edited, but please don't change the size.
