make auto-expanding Editor's ViewSource mode also expand

[Matt Lauer]

Currently it creates a standard textarea node, which is annoying and spawns textarea scrollbars often.

When using dojox.editor.plugins.PrettyPrint? with dijit._editor.plugins.ViewSource? on long html chunks, the user clicks the ViewSource? toggle and gets an awful double scroll bar effect: one for the page (normal) and one for the textarea (because PrettyPrint? beautifies the HTML w/o resizing the textarea). The textarea here is not a dijit.

It seems best that the ViewSource? plugin create a Textarea dijit instead because it is likely the user will make a change that will alter the height and normal textareas will just spawn an annoying scrollbar.

Seems like that would only make sense if the Editor was auto-expanding?

Replying to bill:

Yes, that is a good point. We use always use the Editor as an auto-expanding dijit and I forgot that is an option.

It seems like the the ViewSource? plugin could query the Editor to detect if it is auto expanding.

Unlikely this will be fixed unless someone wants to supply a patch (including a test case).
