A new wiki editor is virtually useless on a laptop, and quite mediocre even on a 24" screen.

On a 15" screen, half the screen is taken by menus, bars, spaces leaving a small box for the actual text. The larger page doesn't scroll, so you confined to a small box to edit the document.

The previous editor, while looking minimalistic, was in fact quite good, and used the space efficiently. If you could replicate your previous editor's UI layout it'd be a great improvement.

	I agree. I have an "average" 19" monitor and the wiki doesen't display well on there (like it did before). – john Oct 10 2010 at 21:57
	I already commented on another post of yours, but could you get in touch with us to look into this? The editor should be decent on that size screen (it is on mine) fogcreek.com/sendmail.html – adambox♦ Oct 11 2010 at 13:44
	On a 1200px-tall screen with Chrome maximized I only get 800px of space for the content of the editor. A small portion of that 400px is wasted by Chrome's, er, chrome, but that's still a surprising amount of wasted space. – Phrogz Feb 11 2011 at 23:44
	@Phrogz please shoot us an email so we can get more detailed feedback for future improvements and maybe come up with some workarounds for you: fogcreek.com/sendmail.html – adambox♦ Feb 14 2011 at 21:36

While not a perfect solution, a workaround that will get the editor out of the template (and give you more screen real estate to work with as a result) is to use a non-built-in template. By default, new templates are just a copy of the built-in FogBugz 8 template, so you can still have the same template, but also gain more room for the editor.

Navigate to http://[Your FogBugz Install]/default.asp?pg=pgListTemplates and create a new template. By default, new templates start out as a copy of the FogBugz 8 built-in template. Then just set your wiki to use the new template you just created and you should be all set. This is a per-wiki setting (since it is dependent on which template is being used)

The new wiki editor in FogBugz 8 is unusable on a small laptop screen
