I have had this once before, drove me nuts for a while! Load stack normally and trigger code editor, If you then hover your mouse over the Livecode icon on the taskbar, a few smaller windows will appear, one of which will be the code editor. Right mouse click on that window and select maximize - This should then display code editor full screen, allowing you to resize accordingly. Since performing that trick, I haven't had the issue again.

I’ll pass those along to my student. (Assuming she wants to get to the bottom of the problem, instead of being satisfied with the workaround.)
