Hi Matebele It looks like you're running Chrome, is that right? What version is it? Are you running any TW5 plugins?
If I understand you the issue is with the width of the edit box, not it's height, is that right? The width is entirely controlled by CSS. Can you duplicate the problem on tiddlywiki.com?
