It looks like there's a few bits that are hardcoding 22px in this file too. min-height just a few lines above being a good example.

That looks good in principle but I'm a bit worried about the connection with _Editor.pcss and how easily this might get thrown out the window. But I'm not sure I can think of a much better way to connect these two

What do you mean by thrown out of the window? As in it forces something useful offscreen?

I've played around with it in a browser at different zoom levels and in it's current guise, it was usable at full height up to 200% zoom on a laptop (16" screen). Do we have any aims in terms of the zoom levels we try to support?

Usability can be increased by doing something like

      @media screen and (max-height: 550px) {
                .mx_WysiwygComposer_Editor_content {
                    max-height: calc(8 * $font-22px);
                }
            }

To help us out on tiny screens (effectively how Chrome seems to represent heavily zoomed in views). The snippet above would keep it usable to 300% zoom.

max-height: calc(16 * $font-22px);
overflow-y: auto;
}
}
