By default the TinyMCE editor is to low in my opinion. The default is now set to a height of 400px.

Also the height and width settings in TinyMCE have no effect.

@Hackwar could you take a look?

it something to do with new version of TinyMCE it ignores the textarea height.
in j5 the editor height is equal textarea height

It actually working, but 500 is hardcoded since forever

joomla-cms/libraries/src/Form/Field/EditorField.php

Lines 208 to 209 in 508ac3d

    
           $this->height      = $this->element['height'] ? (string) $this->element['height'] : '500'; 
        
           $this->width       = $this->element['width'] ? (string) $this->element['width'] : '100%';

It uses, but in strange way, in some reason TinyMCE.js result 500 to 400, while when I try 700 then I get editor in 700px
