All manipulations of JQL or search filter are just work around of this problem. Somehow, this issue still needs a true fix.

In the previous version of JIRA, we can still scroll the whole page up, (ie. scroll also the JQL text area up to see additional issue at the bottom of the page). Now, the scroll bar only appears on the result issue table itself, so if the JQL text area is occupying most of the screen, we pretty much could do nothing to see more of the result table .

I guess there must be some ways, either by:

- Hiding (collapsing) the JQL text area upon a click , Or

- Enabling the vertical scrollbar for the whole page, so we can scroll away the JQL text area to see more of the result, regardless how long the searching JQL would be. (this was the behavior in older version)

I used a filter that had all the things I wanted to incorporate that where specific. Then I used another filter to call that one so the query shortens

For example: Filter A: MWS-123, MWS-124, MWS-125 .....

Filter B: filter = Filter A (and here you can add more conditions)

Hope it works for you

Hi Ethan,

Did you find any solution on how to shrink JQL search field to minimum of size?

we are also facing the same issue , size of the search bar is expanding when the JQL is very large and preventing us from reviewing the searched issue. Any help on this issue will be greatly appreciated.
