Cannot change width of Execute shell text box on configure page for a project

[Aidan Semple]

I'm running Jenkins 1.600 and am currently setting up a new project with rather a long command to put in to one of the Execute Shell text boxes.
Unfortunately the command is so long it extends the width of the text box considerably messing up the display of the project in my browser so it is harder to read. This happens in IE, Chrome and Firefox. I am not able to shrink the width of the text box (only the height).

However in Jenkins 1.544 I could change the width and the command would wrap accordingly. Well this was using firefox but does not work in IE or chrome.
Any ideas on what I need to do to fix this? It could be browser related or even Jenkins, but would be grateful for any tips.
Thanks in advance
Aidan

This might be a silly idea, but why don't you check the script file with this command execute into SCM and then just run the script file in your execute shell text box? (That means you can see the history of changes easier... and when building older branches/pull requests you have the correct command for that branch)

I'd like to see this functionality come back as well.

Although I know it's not the same thing, you could build up a string variable containing pieces of the command and then run that. You should also upgrade to 1.601 because there are some known issues with 1.600.

cmdline="blah ddd ssss xxx etc etc etc"
cmdline="${cmdline} more command and args etc"
$cmdline
