Hi,

How can you make the prosemirror editor resize so that the height of the editor window expands to be the same as the height of the content? I find this a substantial ergonomic improvement as it means there is only one scroll bar for the whole page, instead of one for the page, and then a second one for the editor.

This is the default behavior you get when you don’t give it a fixed height and overflow style.

Thank you, makes sense. I did not find any mention of how to do this in the documentation.
