TYPO3 Core

Which browser are you using?

I am using Firefox Developer Edition (58.0b16).

I tested with Firefox 57.0.4 64-bit and Chrome 63.0.3239.132 64-bit on MAC , TYPO3 8.7.9 and TYPO3 7.6.23 and in both the textarea works as expected. My test was done using the "bullet" text element.

Can you describe in detail what wrong behavior do you experience? and possibly add some screenshots?

Please note that "resizable text area" has a different meaning in different TYPO3 versions:

- TYPO3 6.2.x = it adds an handlebar on the bottom right corner that allows resizing with the mouse.

- TYPO3 7.6.x and above = it means that the textarea height automatically grows while you type text in it until it reaches the height set in "Maximal Height of flexible Textareas in Pixel".

We have a textarea, where each line is rendered as a list item in the frontend (like the "bullet" text element).

The problem is, that those list items have much text, which causes them to break up in multiple lines in the textarea.

For the editors it would be much more comfortable, if they could resize the textarea with the mouse. Then they could resize the textarea until no line breaks up into multiple lines.

So this would be the behaviour like in TYPO3 6.2.x: "it adds an handlebar on the bottom right corner that allows resizing with the mouse".

I guess that the 6.2 behavior was implemented with EXTJs, that has been removed from the core, but mine is just a wild guess.

Do you mind if I change your issue into a "feature"?

No, it's OK for me, if you change this into a "feature".

I close this issue; There are a couple of ways to resize the text editor, just adjusting the yaml configuration file

1) enable the "autogrow" plugin (https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addon/autogrow)

editor:
   config:
      extraPlugins:
         - autogrow

      #configuration example
      autoGrow_minHeight: "250" 
      autoGrow_maxHeight: "600" 

2) Enable the "Editor Resize" plugin (https://ckeditor.com/cke4/addon/resize) that lets you resize the editor window with the mouse dragging.

editor:
  config:
    resize_enabled: true
    resize_dir: "both" 

you can find here further information about the possible settings:

- https://docs.ckeditor.com/ckeditor4/latest/api/CKEDITOR_config.html#cfg-resize_dir

If you think that this is the wrong decision or that there is still something that should be done in this area, please reopen it or open a new issue with a reference to this one. Thank you.
