Great to know Alli - what browser and operating system are you on?

Hi AK,

Thanks so much for posting a solution!

Merge to .com can take a while, as we try to shake out any kinks first and then merge the code.

just a quick note: mine does not make a distinction between panes. when I toggle back and forth they are both expanded.

That's a very interesting distinction about the two views displaying differently - thank you for letting me know.

We continue to work on this!

Alright this seems to have fixed itself.

I couldn't resize on an empty post before. But what I did (and what worked now) was that I opened an old post, resized the window to my preferred size, saved that post, and then when I opened New Post the post editor window remained at the desired size.

Thanks to all the respondents to this thread.

Hi all,

Happy to see that it has been fixed (kind of) on wordpress.org.

How long does it typically take for wordpress.org changes to be transferred to wordpress.com?

Thanks.

Ditto problem for me with wp3.5... IE10 and FF... TinyMCE visual editor is extremely long. HTML window is fine though. I can swap back and forth, visual is long, HTML is fine. I can resize the visual window, but as soon as I update the page the visual window goes long again.

I am sorry you're also experiencing this. We're working on it!

Just so you know this is also happening in firefox. I noticed it the other day and have been driving myself crazy trying to fix it (thinking i had pushed some magic invisible button somewhere that caused the change)...now I find I'm not the only having this issue.
Fingers x'ed a solution is found soon because it is incredibly annoying to work in the insanely large pane.
Glad to know people are working on this.
:)

Hi there AK,

Thanks for letting us know - we are aware of this issue. You don't need to bump the thread up once it's modlooked (and that actually makes it appear "newer" to us, and we start with the older threads).

This is being addressed and the targeted release is the next upgrade of the software. I'm very sorry this is happening to you, and I hope that we can have everything ready to go soon!

Something that has worked for other users is to start a draft, resize the textbox, then save the draft and close it.

You may want to try clearing your browser of all cookies and cache as well. Here is more information about how to do that:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/

So far, when these solutions work for users, they are temporary, but it may help a little.

Thank you for your patience!

Thanks for the help with these, TT.

That is correct!

I'm asking our internal team if there's any short-term fix that might help users in the interim.

In the trac ticket the milestone is 3.5.1, which would be the next pushed upgrade, yes. The transition to WP.com from WP.org would happen after that.

Does that help?

I could be wrong but I do believe the developers are aware of this issue. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23042 I assume that the fix may not happen until the next WordPress upgrade but don't know that for sure.

@zandyring
Yes there is a bug and yes it's annoying. It affects all WordPress.com users and WordPress.org users who have upgraded their sites. The developers are definitely aware of this issue. http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/23042 I assume the fix may not happen until the next WordPress upgrade. Is that correct or not?

I'm so glad it's working for you again!

You may want to remember to clear your cookies every few months or so, but you should be all set now :)

It works!!! It works.

Before it did not work because I made the mistake of first resizing and then getting rid of the cookies, but then I realized it had to be the other way around.

(A very absurd thing did happen. When I came back in and after I had started to re-size the trial editing window, suddenly there was an alert to tell me I was not logged in and my draft could not be saved. )

Thank you very much.

It has not yet worked; the window is still very long, but I will try again tomorrow.
Now I am curious to see what happens when I try to log into my mail service which is itself in perpetual trouble. Maybe I am their only remaining customer.

Hi there,
I do understand your concern about falling between the cracks. People phrase things in different ways and that's why you couldn't find the thread I found and why I still can't find the thread macmanx commented in that I referred to above. This thread is tagged for Staff so I'm sure they will pick up on the IE10 addition too.

meursault13 on "Weird bug - textbox automatically expands"

meursault13 — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 04:03:38 +0000

Thank you.

I was not aware it was affecting other WP.com users, as I had not seen any other threads about it (and I did search before posting).

I was just concerned that this issue might get lost among the continuous stream of new posts - hope you understand. Now that you have explained it's a system-wide problem I will stop bumping this topic and eagerly await the next upgrade.

Incidentally...

The problem still exists that the post editor window is forced to 5000 pixels tall because the wp_usermeta -> wp_user-settings -> ed_size value is being set to ed_size=310566666&editor=tinymce&mfold=f or other extremely large value with FireFox 17.0.1 and Chrome 23.0.1271.97 m.

You can add Internet Explorer 10 to this list as well.

Yes it is the same thing! Apparently WP took out the option to customize the size of the editing/ posting window so now we're stuck with having to re size the damn thing every time we prepare a new or edit a post >,> I wish they could just put the re size options back to how they used to be! Absolutely annoying is what it is,

Hi again,

Hmm - interesting that it's continuing to happen to you. It shouldn't make a difference what the theme is - the theme doesn't affect your dashboard.

I'm still troubleshooting on my end - I am really sorry this is still happening!
