Hi, sorry for the lack of response here. I've retitled this issue to be more specifically about Chrome 27, which is the browser this particular issue was actually raised and fixed for.

If you have similar issues with another browser, please raise or check for another issue.

There is already such an issue for Chrome 50, CONF-41035, which has been fixed in 5.9.7.

RESOLVED:

Ladies and Gentlemen, I can confirm that the fix for this issue + Chrome 50 has been resolved in a recent build of Confluence (5.9.7). I upgraded to 5.9.8 and the editor window is the expected size once again.

This is an issue for me too, it started happening a few days ago. My company uses Confluence 5.9.4 , my Chrome Version is 50.0.2661.75 m

Same here on Version 50.0.2661.75 (64-bit) Mac OSX, confluence 5.5.7.

Affecting 5.7.1 also.

Thanks to Andrew Nagy for the workaround!

I don't get why this is still marked as fixed when it is broken for months!

Table-Cell fix works for me.

I can verify that works for both the Documentation theme and the Default theme. Thank you Andrew Nagy.

Taking from Takuya Otani

I added the following to "Custom HTML" > "At end of the HEAD"

Which worked for me and all of my coworkers as well.

<style>
#content.edit {
    display: table-cell;
}
</style>

Reproduced the problem.

Chrome Canary - Version 51.0.2679.0 canary (64-bit)
Confluence 5.9.5
Windows 7 Pro SP1

FYI: nhoxuan suggested better style:

#content.edit {
    display: table-cell;
}

Ref: CONF-41035

Otani-san

Thank you very much. Your CSS snippet really helped me!

My environment:

• Chrome 50.0.2661.26 beta-m (64-bit)
• Confluence 5.5.2
• Windows 7 Professional SP1

Same here:

For workaround, I've applied the following styles via Stylish extension (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stylish/fjnbnpbmkenffdnngjfgmeleoegfcffe)

#main .edit#content {
    height: calc(100% - 42px);
    width: 100%;
    position: absolute!important;
}

• Chrome 50.0.2661.18 dev (64-bit)
• Confluence 6.0.0-OD-2016.10.3-1082
• Mac OS X 10.11.3

Same problem on my chrome when I edit a confluence page.

Chrome Version 50.0.2661.18 dev-m (64-bit)

Confluence Version 5.7.4
Build Number 5788

Also have this problem. Confluence 5.9.6, google chrome 50.0.2661.26

Same problem here with confluence v5.8.9 -> Version 50.0.2661.26 beta-m (64-bit)

For the short term, and based upon an older comment, you can add a bookmark with the content, javascript:$('.editor-fullheight').height(1200); and then click on it once in the edit page. (You can also change the height to something better suited to your screen)

I also have this issue with Chrome 50.0.2661.26 beta, and Confluence 5.9.3

Chrome 50.0.2661.26 beta-m with Windows 7 here and same problem.

Chrome Beta 50 working here, same problem, workaround doesn't fix anything. Is there any new workaround?

Confirming that the latest Chrome beta build (Win 8.1, x64) still exhibits this issue.

Is there an available CSS workaround for this regression?

@selleckj, there is little chance to have such problem on stable too, so, be ready.

Chrome 50 was on the dev channel. I swapped back to beta channel which is release 49 and it worked. I'd suggest you try that. Support did forward to developers but it might be a chrome bug more than confluence.

Appears for me also.
Latest Chrome 50.0.2657.0 dev-m (64-bit) on Windows 8.1 and Confluence 5.9.3

I am using latest Chrome and Confluence 6.0.0-OD-2016.08.1-0001 (On Cloud)

I have cleared cache and restarted browser.

Version 50.0.2657.0 dev-m (64-bit)

Google Chrome is up to date.

I still have this problem on confluence 5.9.3 with chrome 50.0.2652.0.dev on OSX!!
Forcing a height in px to the form element is fixing it though.

#editpageform {
 height: 100px;
}

Confluence 5.5.6 still buggy. Snippet is not funcional and plugin is not compatible with this version. From my point of view is not this bug resolved.

5.2.5 - is still effected.

Do you have any customizations in the space or global css/layouts/html? More than likely this is due to some residual customization. If you cannot locate any, please raise a support request at https://support.atlassian.com.

We are also having this issue in 5.2.3. Latest Chrome and Firefox.

We are also having this issue in 5.2.3. This has been tested with the latest chrome version

We are also having this issue in 5.1.4 and also in 5.1.5. This has been tested with the latest chrome and firefox and IE 10.

I'm also still having the issue in 5.1.4 with Chrome 28.0.1500.71 m, Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m, Firefox 21.0 and Firefox 22.0.

IE 9 works just fine.

I'm still having this issue in 5.1.4 and even the Editor Height Fix doesn't do anything.
I'm using Chrome Version 27.0.1453.116 m

I am still seeing this issue with the editor in Chrome sporadically with confluence 5.1.3.
Cannot find a pattern as yet and see no mention of it in the 5.1.4 Release Notes.

Edit: After further testing I can reproduce this with certain pages in FF 22 and Chrome Version 27.0.1453.110 m (IE not tested)

The quick fix is to hit F5 and reload the page. Not ideal but better than the previous dirty hack.

Hi mtricomi,

Please raise a support ticket at http://support.atlassian.com so that our Support team can check what is happening.

Thanks,
Renan

Still have the issue on 5.1.3 for sites in the default theme - no problem when in documentation theme. For what its worth, the 2 sites on the default theme now were on the 4.3 easyreader theme.

The current workaround is if after hitting edit, if you hit F5 without making any changes, then it opens right.

Previous workarounds used:

• In 4.3.x, making a bookmark in 4.3.x like javascript:$('#wysiwygTextarea_ifr').height($('#rte').height()); used to work, now doesnt
• In 4.3.x, we also put the plugin advertised, and that fixed it. Once moved to 5.1.3, the plugin didnt work for this default theme

Thanks for the patch! I had this problem in Chrome 27 and IE 10.0.9200.16576 with Confluence 4.2. FF 21 is fine.

We found the plugin fixed spaces using documentation theme for us whereas the CCS entry only fixed the default them.

If i install the plugin to fix it, will that update all spaces or just the default theme?

Ryan, you might want to file a support ticket. There could be a theme or other customisation messing with the fix and support should be able to identify how that's occurring.

I have confluence 4.2 and I have tried both the CSS and the plugin fixes and neither of them work. Is there some additional step I need to take after I implement either?

A new Confluence add-on containing the fix is now available as well:
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.atlassian.confluence.plugins.editor-height-fix

I've added more detailed steps for how to fix this with a custom CSS snippet to the Description of the ticket. It's pretty similar for 4.x or 5.x but I've separated them out to make it as straight forward as possible.

The same CSS snippet works for both 4.x and 5.x. The main thing to note is that the Global Stylesheet customisation only applies to the default theme. For any space using another theme (e.g.: Documentation theme or a custom theme) you need to apply the change at a space level.

I am using this on Confluence 4.3.5
A small javascript based hack I am put into my install under Custom HTML end of the Body setting. It sets the explicit editing area on page load, and resets it after the browser does a resize (drops the size to zero so it get the correct non-expanded size of the parent element, unfortunately this causes a screen flash)

<script>
AJS.$(document).ready(function() {
if (AJS.$('#wysiwygTextarea_ifr').length > 0)

});

AJS.$(window).resize(function() {

AJS.$('#wysiwygTextarea_ifr').height(0);
setTimeout( "AJS.$('#wysiwygTextarea_ifr').height(AJS.$('#rte').height());",200);

});
</script>

Reopening to add some extra detail to the workaround.

can you clarify steps to fix this in 4.3.7

Is there any plan to support Version 4.x of confluence for this issue?

Is a solution for Safari browser?

Merged to stable.

Tested in IE8,IE9, FF20, Chrome 26

Fix for quick editing is now ready for review.
