Make product "Description" box larger

[ric3]

I'm using 1.7.1.1 and need to have a lot of information on some of my products. The problem is that the description box, in the admin, won't expand bigger than about 28 lines, so I can't see/edit anything I type or paste past that point.

 

This seems to be a glitch or bug, as all the text appears fine on the customer side. Just wondering if any one knows how I can fix this?

 

Also, I'm using chrome. Haven't tested it in other browsers yet.

 

Thanks.

I have the same problem. No matter which browser is used.

 

Will anyone help?

 

Thanks

Hey stan_va,

 

I didn't find an exact solution, but I noticed that the new version (1.7.1.2) reports they have fixed it:

 

Some of the most notable fixes are:

• Add a scrollbar for editor

• etc...

Full list of changes: http://build.prestashop.com/news/prestashop-1-7-1-2-maintenance-release/

 

The One-Click Upgrade won't work for me, so I can't test it unfortunately.

I'm getting the following error:

 

PrestaShop Original version:

 Error Unable to check md5 files

 

If anyone has a solution for that, I'd love to hear it.

 

Hopefully this helps you a little, though.

Found a thread with people having the same problem in v1.7 about auto-upgrade.

 

Solution:

 

 Go to  > admin(xxxxxxxxx) > autoupgrade and in that folder change all folders to 0755 and all files to 0644

 

It will then work fine.

Please have a look at this module, I created a free module that will fix the problem:
