You want to adjust and/or remove the max-height attribute of `pre code`

So in your Admin \> Customize \> CSS/HTML \> CSS area, put

```plaintext
pre code {
  max-height: 800px;
}

```

You can change 800px to any number really, it simply implies when the code block reaches that amount of space, start showing the scrollbar.
