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
Build consensus that this is desirable.Wait for #2039163: Update CKEditor library to 4.4.- Wait for CKEditor to add support for "smart" autogrowing: https://dev.ckeditor.com/ticket/12120
- Create a new build that includes it.
- Get patch committed
User interface changes
None, other than that the CKEditor iframe instances will grow along automatically.
API changes
None.
