Release notes

No matter the screen ratio, the Web Editor takes up a small amount of screen space. This can make editing a single text file unpleasant due to the amount of space given, especially when using preview mode on a Markdown file. The proposal is to make the Web Editor's text box more dynamic to stretch and fill more of the screen.

Problem to solve

The screen space given when using Web Editor to 'edit a single text file' can be too small for some developers.

Proposal

Fill the white space left over if there is sufficient space for the user. fill_screen
