Hi,

I'm using 2.1.3 and it's kindda impossible to decrease the editor's height, explained in:

Anyone has similiar problem?

Thanks.

Editor is configured so it always displays entire content you entered. That is the reason why you can't resize it to take less space than what it required to display full content.

Can you teach me how to config so it's not always displays the entire content? <- similiar to WordPress's editor.

We often write discussion very long and 2 to 3 mouse scroll up to the top just to get "bold" styling and scroll back down to see the result isn't so wise.

Thx.

Auto-expand feature is currently not configurable - it can't be turned off. We'll consider to add this option in one of the upcoming releases.

I have to second to this. Usability is thrown out of window when one has to scroll up and down repeatedly to mark a dozen of lines to "Heading 3".

Forcing the textarea to expand according to the content is like the much debated "forcing a link to be opened in new window". At the end of the day, end users would rather have the choice of expanding it or not (by dragging the bar at the bottom of the textarea) then be forced to live with it.
