Running out of real estate in your code window? Give it the full screen to play with (well, almost all of it...)

ALT + SHIFT + RETURN

(The same again to return to "normal")

Oh, bother. My response here didn't survive the migration in one piece. And when I click on edit I get an error page.

So... the answer should be "ALT" + "SHIFT" + "RETURN". (I had wrapped it in the keyboard tag to make it look like yer actual keys...)

Glad to see it's not just me. Now all we have to do is let The Powers That Be know (which I assume you can do, given your mighty ranking)...

Not sure about my 'Mighty Ranking', but I sure can whinge well. Hay Presto - Fixed!
