Solution
Symptoms
JIRA's workflow editor window is too small.
Workaround
A workaround was found by one of the developers, using Javascript in the announcement banner:
Use the Text Mode editor
Add Javascript to JIRA's announcement banner to resize the flash object window:
Test this in a development environment first.

<script>
if (AJS && AJS.$) {
AJS.$(document).ready(function () {
if (AJS.$(".workflow-container").length > 0 && window && window.setTimeout) {
window.setTimeout (function() { AJS.$("#jwdFlex").height("800px"); }, 1000 );
}
});
}
</script>
It waits 1000 milliseconds after the document is ready to give the flash object a second to initialise, and then resizes the flash to 800 pixels high. This is a terrible unsupported hack but might be enough to work around the issue for your particular environment.
