Updating the original ticket with new examples,The max height for source entry fields is usually too small. I've found some cases where the box will expand, but I can't reproduce it reliably. because the header has moved to the side railSwitching back and forth between VE and source will always result in a source field that's too small.
In the side rail, they're also too small, which means a tiny editing space.
Here's the editing field in the side rail for VE:
{F173308}
Switching to wikitext mode, the editing field is ridiculously small:
{F173304}
Regular post, the source field is too small:
{F173398}
Regular post, occasionally I'll see a source field that sizes appropriately:
{F173400}
(previous ticket):
I start to edit the description (header)
{F168164}
I switch to VE, switch back to the wikitext
Field is now a small height and there is not even scroll bars
{F168162}
