The text area for pipeline script code is too small, and neither Chrome or Firefox allow for custom resizing; text area size is likely hard coded in Jenkins.
This issue becomes critical on 13" laptop screens even if they are retina as the edit window becomes almost impossible to use due to both lack of horizontal and vertical space.

added a comment - Making the window for editing bigger would be great. If there were a way to open an external editor such as vi, even better.

added a comment - +1 for this. The textarea is so small it's virtually useless. I have to copy/paste the content of that into an IDE and then back again. Very very user unfriendly the way it is

That tiny box is impossible to work with, even for minor script changes. I'm always copying/pasting to/from a real text editor.

Can we do something about this bug as it makes extremely hard even to view to change one line in the pipeline (not to mention being impossible to see an entire block).

Count me in as a plaintive requester for a resizeable text box. I know we can use a script that we edit a file outside of Jenkins, but I'm poking at it in an iterative fashion and having a window large enough to do something more than "Hello World" would be peachy. I use Safari 9.1.1 and Chrome version 53.0.2785.116 (64-bit). Will not try on Firefox because of my personal history of "Why is this taking up so much memory?"
