I cannot for the life of me get a resizable text area to work with Spectrum Web Components and UXP for Premiere Pro. The example on this page shows a text box that can be resized with a handle in the bottom right hand corner, as well as scroll bars: [Textarea: Spectrum Web Components](https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/textarea/#anatomy) I have tried to implement that as follows: ```auto

Resizable Textarea Test

Background

Press Enter for new lines. Drag corner to resize.

``` But it just appears as a single line text field with no multiline functionality ![Screenshot 2026-01-22 at 3.28.10 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/xdplugins/original/2X/0/076302d7b440418d4658862e2a65bc2c04dcab71.jpeg) Looking at it it doesn’t look like the labels are working properly either. I have used npm install to make sure the dependencies are there, see image: [Imgur: The magic of the Internet](https://imgur.com/a/XW2K1BI) I have been at this for several days and can’t seem to figure this out. I would love some help on figuring out how to get SWC to work. ---
