textarea width problem in views forms

I'm using fckeditor (V 2.6.3). It works fine for my purposes everywhere except on views forms. When I try to set the views page header,footer or empty text areas the active fckeditor works OK.

If I try to disable the fckeditor to paste in some html, the textarea left behind is stunted, about 60 cols by 5 rows. This is a pain if I want to do some simple adjustments on the raw html after I paste it in. The 5 rows seems to come from fckedit profile where I set the minimum number of lines to 5. If I set that parameter to 1 I only get one line on the textarea when fckedit is de-selected in views.

I don't have this problem anywhere else. When I toggle to plain text from fckedit on a single textarea field ouside views it leaves a full-wide plain textarea. I have width set to 95% in the editor profile.

If I do a views form with the fckeditor completely disabled, I also get the full-width textarea on the form. So it seems to be some sort of interaction between fckedit and views.

Does anyone have an idea when and where the textarea dimensions are being finagled and how I can set them properly?
