Description
Reported on MSE: Post 1, Post2
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The current resize handle is not obvious and implies horizontal resizing. Additionally, resizing on mobile is tough.
Describe alternatives you've considered
The old editor for Stack Overflow uses a "grippie" for vertical resizing. This may be a good alternative.
