Matlab User Interface - how can I fit more script in one line?

Hi there,

In the Matlab's script interface, there is a vertical line (see below where the arrow is pointing at) serving as the border of the script.

I am not sure why the line was set at this place and you can clearly see there is a large amout of space on the right are not being used.

Is it possible to adjust this vertical line to the right so that more script can be fit in the same line?

I guess this is just a question about cosmetics.

And also, it seems to only limits the comments rather than the scripts. See below. You can see that the scrpits can go beyond the vertical line.
