Well, that's half the story, actually. I have a small hack that is
called right after codemirror is loaded to ensure that it doesn't expand
beyond where it's supposed to:

--->%---
// Hack to prevent the codemirror from expanding beyond dialog boundries
$('.CodeMirror-scroll').find('div').first().css('width', '1px');
--->%---

No idea, actually, I tried to git-blame codemirror's GIT repo to figure
out when that code was introduced, but I didn't manage. I guess I didn't
try hard enough. So, yeah, maybe it's a good idea to email codemirror's
author. I'll do that later.
