issue with Custom Column editor not "showing" in the web app for Dataflows

One of my users is currently experiencing an issue with the custom column editor in dataflows not "showing" on the web app..

Originally we thought the custom column editor was not showing but when we zoomed out on the screen, we realized it was actually off screen (The image below shows a zoomed out view). Is there a way for this to be resized or shrunk so the user doesnt have to zoom out everytime? I assume it is due to the data being so long, but would think it would just be resized. 

 

Thanks for any help ahead of time.

Hi there

I think as you said this is because the data is so long.

What about if you had to create it in Power BI Desktop and then copy the M Code into the dataflow?
