    I’m not sure if this has been reported or if there’s an easy fix. I’ve recently updated to 4.0 and the editing window is now auto-resizing to the length of the entire post. I want to keep the window static in size. Is there a way to do this? I looked on the “Writing” settings tab and didn’t see an option.

    It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.

    But the window should only resize to the length available in your browser window, not the WHOLE post (unless that’s the same…).

    To turn that off, go to edit any post and click on the “Screen Options” tab.

    From that, uncheck “Expand the editor to match the window height.”

    It’s extending the window to the end of the post, increasing the length of my scroll bar in the process. But the Screen Options thing worked. Thanks.

    I think it sucks. I like the old way. Are you suggesting that for all the hundreds of posts I have and that I go back and edit periodically that I have to change the parameters? Adding more work on my shoulders for a feature I couldn’t care less about? I didn’t ask for that feature. You guys should have made it an option for us to TURN ON rather than shoving that crap down our throats and making it default. I suggest you fix that. I want the default to be the other way around.

    I don’t know what happened with all my posts opening up the new way even though I changed it to the old way, but now they open up the old way. Weirdness is afoot. These changes need to be optional and the user needs to be given a choice, especially with such a large interface change. And there needs to be a single editor control in the Settings for this sort of thing.
