wiki editing area should allow a lot more depth

[Chris Ryland <cpr@…>]

Limiting the wiki editing area to 40 lines is pretty minimal.

How about a max of 80 or 100?

(Using Trac on a 30" monitor means I'm wasting a lot of available screen space.)

For 0.10, this patch should do the trick:

No, what would be really cool for wide screen would be side-by-side editing ;)

(see #2596, marked as duplicate of this one)

Hmm, that does look very cool. Time to purchase a larger screen.

Hm, I should really do this wide-screen support one day, with synchronized scrolling of textarea and preview ;-)

Replying to cboos:

Done so in #8721 :-)

Besides, the "wiki editing area should allow a lot more depth" topic has been addressed with the resizable textareas (#8216).
