      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.

          Comment [ This is a huge usability issue when debugging pipeline code:
           * Screen realestate is genuinely wasted <15% used
           * 15 lines of code available. 78 character width available
           ** Context of pipeline scope is lost when scrolling vertically
           ** Generated pipeline code is often greater than 78 characters
           * Cannot copy and paste with browser-mouse-right-click

          When debugging, I need 3 windows up:
           # Console output window
           # Pipeline script window
           # IDE window (to cut and paste into)

          If converting this input field to an expandable textinput field is too involved, can we at least remove the "setting-name" and "setting-leftspace" html elements to increase the width by 10% ]
