Why doeasnt the rich text editor have the same basic functionality as the text editor :
These are missing from the rich text editor component
height :Auto/Fixed
image width: Fit/Fill
alignment: <- <> ->

it's a text editor albeit. a rich one so it should posess the same standard functionality, otherwise it's kinda useless if it cant auto grow in height

Hey @peter.b,

I understand that the Rich Text Editor component currently offers limited functionality. However, I wanted to share a possible solution:

You can place the Rich Text Editor inside a container and adjust the container’s height, styles, and alignment to suit your needs better. Alternatively, you can apply custom CSS for more control over its appearance and behavior.

._positionable_yck9x_1._retool-TextEditorWidget.retool-widget._retool-container-richTextEditor1._selected_yck9x_7
{
  height:100px!important;
}

I would opt for some less specific selectors as I doubt all apps produces the same class names.

Hi @peter.b,

Apologies for the issue.

I can make a feature request to add these features in to the rich text editor component. I will keep you updated on any news I hear on this ticket from our engineering team.

As a short term work around, the above suggestion of using custom CSS would be my best best while we get the full built in functionality rolled out :+1:
