For some reason, TinyMCE is being rendered too wide for Articles resources. For example the article title field is 704px, but the span which holds the rte is 935px. This causes it to lose the right hand side behind the second column so the user can't resize it.
I've tried setting the width of TinyMCE in pixels, but it looks like it's being overridden when the page is built.
Any ideas on how to overcome this? Obviously on a wide monitor it's not such an issue as a wider window displays it all, but unfortunately the client is on a laptop with a 15" screen.
Thanks!

I haven't played with it much, but I think TinyMCE should be set to default to 90% of the container width, however, it will not go smaller than whatever size is needed to display all the buttons that are defined.
You may need to customize the button rows to show fewer buttons per row. You can do that in the System Settings. Change the namespace from 'core' to 'tinymce' and scroll down, you should see settings named 'Custom Buttons Row 1' - 'Custom Buttons Row 5'
Thanks for the reply Josh, but it's not the buttons that are doing it. The containing span is being set too wide, so although TinyMCE is indeed at 90%, it's 90% of far too wide!
I'm getting this too (well, my client is). Any ideas on how to fix?

What happens if you drag the right side of the Tree section as far to the left as it will go?
That shows the rest of it, but it's not really a solution, especially for clients. The editor should resize to fit the available space.

The problem is the toolbar. The editor does resize until it is the width of the toolbar; at that point it stop resizing. You can't set it any smaller than that in its "width" configuration setting either.

Ah excellent - I'll turn off some buttons and see what happens. Cheers Susan!
