Pull request overview

This PR fixes an issue where textareas with the rows attribute set to 1 (or other values) would not properly respect the row count due to forced min-height values in the Ionic theme. The fix adjusts padding placement and removes fixed min-height constraints when the rows attribute is present.

Changes:

• Removed hardcoded min-height values from .textarea-size-* classes in the Ionic theme
• Added min-height: auto override for textareas with the rows attribute
• Moved padding from .textarea-wrapper-inner to .native-textarea when rows is set (for proper scrolling behavior)
• Added comprehensive e2e tests for the rows functionality
