Pasting code in forum posts

When someone uses the code display button to paste some code within a forum post all the pasted code is additioned with one extra empty line per each line of code pasted, resulting in long and spatious code.

Although this is a small problem I find it very annoying because, since the code is diplayed in a fixed height html element with a scroll bar. obliging everyone to scroll, even for code that would normally fit in that area.

Suggestions:

  1. Is it possible to remove the added lines?
  2. Is it possible to increase the size of the box so that scrolling is reduced?

Thx!
