 * As I have many categories I would like to increase the vertical size of the category
   admin menu. How to manage it ?

 * Have you played with the `/wp-admin/wp-admin.css` file at all?

 * ` <fieldset id="categorydiv">`
 * Thats the bit.
 * I’d suggest adding a colour maybe ? Just so you can see what’s what as otherwise
   the white-on-white with just the text to go by could make it tricky.
 * And if all goes incredibly _interesting_, use your backup copy 🙂

   But in fact, for the future, I don’t how to adjust the hight of the scrolling
   window .

 * Yes, very nice! Exactly what I was looking for.

   something new and got it taller.
