Comment:

 > Isn't there some kind of order in which bugs are fixed relative to the
 order that they come in?

 No. They are rather fixed in order f priority, i.e. if they are a
 regression, how severe the bug is, now many users are affected, if there
 is a patch, etc.

 That's not the case :)

 Unfortunately I don't think this is fixable in core. Hidden elements in
 HTML don't have (browser calculated) dimensions. There is no way for
 TinyMCE (or any other JS) to get that hidden div's height simply because
 the browser doesn't know it. That can be done after it is shown.

 Your best bet is to initialize TinyMCE on the same event used to show that
 div, right after you remove the `display: none`. Alternatively you can try
 setting the editor height (in the init object) and then resize it after
 the div is shown.
