Example of badly used vertical space

Niklas hated the scrollbars in the small text areas, while migrating a
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:LocalSettings.php translation.

In my case, the problem is rather that so much vertical space is wasted and I
have to scroll the page a lot in order to cut and paste text from one textarea
to another. Some ideas for improvement that I throw for consideration:
a) adapt the height to the space required by the source text, keep it constant
for the corresponding text area on the right side;
b) allow to move the division between right and left for all the textareas at
once, not only one by one, so that I can gain more horizontal space if I want;
c) if it doesn't disrupt things too much (or when the changes above allow it),
don't add scrollbars but always fit the height to what's actually needed to fit
all the text.
