I know that question have been answer, but answer is no more current
with wp 3.5.2 (or 3.6) and many plugin, qtranslate first… i dont have the “size of the post box” in Settings > Writing. Yes i can manually extent the box with the lower right triagle, but when saved, it’s back to super small 2-3 line in height
So the question, how do i change it PERMANANTLY to 30 line in height ?
I write a small plugin to give ability for user to change the edito height in a option of profile page. A sort of back in time to WP < 3.5.2
Workflow
the_editor
the_editor
get the user option and use a regex replace to change height, only if the id of the editor is the right one to prevent plugin interfer with other calls ofwp_editor
Edit
I’ve created a better version of the original posted plugin. It’s almost the same but is coded in a class and give 2 options for editor height: one for desktops one for mobile devices.
The code can be found in this Gist.
Plugin in quickly tested on WP 3.6 and seems to work.
Below a preview of how this plugin let set the options:

Create custom-editor-style.css file on theme directory.add following code.
