Comment:

 Please change the resolution status to Reopen because this bug happens in
 Wordpress 3.5 with FireFox 17.0.1 and Chrome on Win7:
 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-option-to-change-the-size-of-
 editor-is-missing-how-to-change-the-size

 After reading this thread, I fired up PhpMyAdmin and browsed the
 wp_usermeta table. The field wp_user-settings has the value
 ed_size=181566666&editor=tinymce.

 I changed value to "ed_size=600&editor=tinymce", then open FireFox and
 signed into the WP Admin Dashboard and edited a post. The post editor box
 was the default normal size. Updating the post blew up the posted editor
 box. Checking wp_usermeta -> wp_user-settings showed
 "ed_size=33339999997615814&editor=tinymce&mfold=f".

 I made sure the browsers were set to accept and keep all cookies. I do see
 a cookie:
 Name: wp-settings-58
 Content: ed_size%3D33339999997615814%26editor%3Dtinymce%26mfold%3Df

 Which confirms the ed_size blow-up is being saved in the cookie.

 Repeating the process in Chrome v23.0.1271.97 m reveals similar results,
 although the ed_size value will change to a different huge value if the
 post box is manually resized.

 This bug makes it really time consuming to edit posts because the editor
 toolbar is way off the screen.

 Thanks for looking into this.
