Problem/Motivation

Right now in Drupal 8, if you go to node/add/article, type the highlights of your article in a few words, click the "Image" button, upload an image, hit "Save", you get this:

So we have a great UX for everything up to the point and including uploading & inserting an image. But once it's inserted, it's… awkward.

(The same problem exists when you have finished writing your article — even if it's text-only — you have to manually resize CKEditor.)

Proposed resolution

Use CKEditor's (GPL!) AutoGrow plug-in. Then it would have looked like this instead:

A demo of the AutoGrow plug-in is available online: http://ckeditor.com/demo#auto-grow

Remaining tasks

  1. Build consensus that this is desirable.
  2. Wait for #2039163: Update CKEditor library to 4.4.
  3. Wait for CKEditor to add support for "smart" autogrowing: https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/12120
  4. Create a new build that includes it.
  5. Get patch committed

User interface changes

None, other than that the CKEditor iframe instances will grow along automatically.

API changes

None.
