I’ve found that it’s a case of disabling the ‘autogrow’ plugin.

So something like this:

```
<?php
$editor = $app->make('editor');
$editor->getPluginManager()->deselect(array('autogrow'));
echo $editor->outputStandardEditor('fieldName', $contents);
?>
```

@mesuva , thank you, that worked.

I’ve also managed to do that with css:

`.cke_wysiwyg_div { height: 200px; }`

PS. I’ve just checked I can disable the RTE Auto Grow in the Settings. 👍
