Rails - May 2006 - problem with in_place_editor_field

I can''t seem to pass any options other thant :rows to the
in_place_editor

<p><%= in_place_editor_field :gallery, ''description'',
{}, {:rows => 2,
:cols => 15} %></p>

:cols is just not working, a quick look at the html source confirms this?
I am using rails 1.0..
