Hi Richard,

I enabled the 'autoresize' plugin for tinyMCE and had a bit of a play. I think a combination between your current workaround/patch and this plugin would work. This plugin seems to resize the editor vertically (as you add more content), while your workaround (if enabled) provides the optimum width.
I have tested the plugin on the browsers I have to my disposal (Firefox, IE6 and Chromium) and it seems to work fine.

I have attached a patch that enables the plugin.

** Patch added: "patch to enable the tinyMCE autoresize plugin"

Bug description:
Feature Request:

In Mahara 1.3 the wysisyg editor is no longer available in Full Screen Mode. 
Therfore it is difficult to enter and format longer texts.

Furthermore you can't alter the wysiwyg size and look in the templates css file.
This limits theming options!
