See bug 260 and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/12564/ for the change.

This change makes the situation worse when the <pre> is longer than the window. Look at the attached screenshot (MediaWiki:Common.js from TWN in a small window).
Do you see at once that line 4 is not complete? To see the rest of it, you have to use the vertical scrollbar of the window to scroll down to the horizontal scrollbar of the pre block, then scroll right and up again (if the page were longer, would you remember where you were?)

Try to read [[commons:MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js]] with the new CSS, you will go mad.

Since the change was reverted I am closing this bug as FIXED, in favor of a centralized discussion at bug 260.
