Symptoms

JIRA's workflow editor window is too small.

Workaround

A workaround was found by one of the developers, using Javascript in the announcement banner:

• https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/68888/jira-workflow-editor-height-too-small

1. Use the Text Mode editor

2. Add Javascript to JIRA's announcement banner to resize the flash object window:

   Test this in a development environment first.

 

<script>
if (AJS && AJS.$) {
AJS.$(document).ready(function () {
if (AJS.$(".workflow-container").length > 0 && window && window.setTimeout) {
window.setTimeout (function() { AJS.$("#jwdFlex").height("800px"); }, 1000 );
}
});
}
</script>

• It waits 1000 milliseconds after the document is ready to give the flash object a second to initialise, and then resizes the flash to 800 pixels high. This is a terrible unsupported hack but might be enough to work around the issue for your particular environment.
