Autogrow plugin grows randomly and then wont autoshrink or shrink back up.

I found the following issue:

Auto grow plugin was adding a small amount of height each time i click anywhere or even focus the ckeditor.

Also can't auto shrink properly.

solution

I used 2 solutions. Firstly, I found that setting the "autoGrow_bottomSpace" setting to a negative integer would help. thankfully the plugin wont "resize()" to the same size so this was a good solution.

CKEDITOR.replace(this,
{
    docType: '',
    height: "98",

    extraPlugins: 'autogrow',
    autoGrow_minHeight: 98,
    autoGrow_maxHeight: 250,
    autoGrow_bottomSpace: -1,

    //more configs...
}

Later, I found that the autogrow was never auto-shrinking back up.

After much deliberation I realised

    docType: '',

is a major "no-no" for this plugin, so removing that did the trick AND it caused me to be able to set

    autoGrow_bottomSpace: 20,

Back to something reasonable. Hope it helps someone.
