Description

The bottom right corner of the post editor in visual mode (MCE) can be drug to resize the window vertical, however it can not in HTML mode.

Either this is a bug, or a feature request for both editor modes to be resizable.

What I find strange is that if you resize it in visual mode then switch back to HTML the sizing stays.

  • Milestone changed from Awaiting Review to Future Release
  • Priority changed from normal to low
  • Type changed from defect (bug) to enhancement
  • Version changed from 3.0 to 2.5

The initial height of the HTML editor can be set from Settings->Writing->Size of the post box (in lines).

When switching Visual to HTML it inherits the height (the script copies the height of the Visual editor and resizes the HTML one). Unfortunately there's no easy way to do the same when switching HTML to Visual.

We could make the HTML editor resizable but will have to break that "inheritance". Then both editors would have different height and separate setting stored in a cookie.

IMHO this looks/feels better as it is, suggesting wontfix.
