We apologize for the instability of composr.app and appreciate your patience. We are working on the statistics addon and trying to find an optimal way to store and render data. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a solution that can handle the traffic (and therefore, tens of millions of statistical records) of composr.app. We're working hard on one.
That's intentional, although not ideal. The Comcode tag is the following:
[abbr title="full version"]contents[/abbr]
"contents", which exists on all tags, has the long text area, and is what shows up as the actual HTML. That's because in most cases / Comcode tags, it's the longest portion of the tag. "Abbr" is an exception since contents is actually the abbreviation, and you stick the long version in a title parameter (because in the HTML abbr tag, it's exactly that... < abbr title="long version" > abbreviation < /abbr >).
I cannot flip flop them because that goes against the convention of the contents being what shows up on the page (which is still true despite it being the shorter version). I can look into seeing if I can make the title field also long text.
Just seems odd that something like <abbr title="Domain Name System Security Extensions">DNSSEC</abbr> has the DNSSEC in a text area, and the abbr in a single line input when adding through the Comcode Tags interface, but your explaination makes sense.
