VisualEditor inspector for SyntaxHighlight is too tiny with no resize option

Description

screenshot

While we can't yet just click into a <source> SyntaxHighlight extension chunk and edit it, I notice we can now click a "<>" button that opens a plaintext editor for the contents. Awesome!

Unfortunately the popup box for this seems really small, and there doesn't appear to be any way to resize it (no resize handles or zoom button that I can find).

Especially for editing source code blocks, being able to bump the size waaay up would be very helpful.

That inspector shown in that screenshot is not one from the SyntaxHighlight extension. Rather, it's the default dialog VisualEditor provides to allow editing of unknown MediaWiki tags (e.g. ones not registered elsewhere with a dedicated interface for known attributes and validating of values).

The SyntaxHighlight dialog or VisualEditor was merged only a few days ago:
T45126: Create a VisualEditor plugin tool to add/edit SyntaxHighlight blocks

It'll be deployed in wmf12 next week. Here's a screenshot from beta:

Which.. is also not very big. Keeping this task unresolved for now.

A few ideas:

  • Button to turn dialog into "full page" size.
  • By default, inner height unrestricted (however large the textarea is, autogrowing when changing it). With outer height providing scroll overflow based on browser window size.
  • Or; default to OOjs UI "large" or "larger" size at least.
