    Hi,

    it`s me again. -Sorry- (searched the forum but found no anwser).

    I`d like to change the template size within the control panel -> design -> template dynamically. See attached image. This button is missing at my backend.

    Any idea?

    Thanks,
    Caymen

    Anyone?

    Should there be a stretch button to extend the window in the default editor? There is one at the official tutorial/help but it`s not on my version of the editor.

    Thanks,
    Caymen14

    Not really sure what you are asking - that text area resizing is part of your browser’s featureset, not EE.

    Yeah. If you are looking to make the text boxes bigger for you to type in, look into the “Write Mode” option for your channel fields.

    When you create a new channel field (or edit one), at the very bottom of that page you will see a host of radio buttons - write mode is somewhere in there.

    Hope that helps.

    Sorry but i did not mean channel (fields) but the main editing area for templates within the control panel like here.

    Again, that template editing area is still a browser text field so the resizing is a browser feature.

    Thanks. but… 100% sure? I had the resize option for months but it dissapeared 2 weeks ago. I didn`t change or update the browser and the button doesn`t show at a different browser too. miss it so much 😊

    No, I agree, the hash or dots to resize is no longer visible. My browser does not allow the template editing field be resized (bottom right corner), neither Chrome nor FF will do it.  Checked 2.5.5 and 2.7.2.

    Where did this go:
