Textarea field too wide in Wordpress

The textarea field of the editor is too large on smaller resolutions. It goes to the full length of the screen and therefore is overlapped by the edit page buttons on the right side of the WP edit page screen.

Any ideas how to stop this?

(I already posted this on the Wordpress plugin forum but maybe someone here can help me too...)

Thanks in advance!

Re: Textarea field too wide in Wordpress

I had a similar problem and I noticed the toolbar buttons were not wrapping. I modified the code so the buttons were displaying on a new line. For example, here is a toolbar I modified:

$config['toolbar'] = array(
   array( 'Source','-','Cut', 'Copy', 'PasteText', 'PasteFromWord', '-', 'Undo','Redo','-','BidiLtr', 'BidiRtl'),
    '/',
   array( 'Bold', 'Italic', '-', 'HorizontalRule', '-', 'NumberedList','BulletedList','-','OrderedList','UnorderedList','-','Link','Unlink','Anchor','-','About')
);

Please note the --> '/', line. This is the code that forces a new line.

Of course, your mileage may vary...
