Description

Writing a script in code is sensitive to the screen real estate available, especially when writing in a programming language like Python where whitespace and structure matter.

The scripting Environments panel currently has a fixed size which is not able to fit the entire width of a typical 80-column Python code style.

We should allow users to resize this panel by dragging its edge, and/or we should allow user to pop this panel out into its own window.

Research direction

Start at the Diagram Editor's scripting Environments panel and trace how its fixed size is defined. Check the existing editor layout and any UI tests before choosing between draggable resizing and a separate window. Done means the panel can provide enough width for typical 80-column Python code, with the chosen interaction covered by verification.
