This is a Dalmatian-based Devstack. The instance console’s height is too large for my screen. Documentation claims that console dimensions can be configured in a file named _detail_vnc.html [1], but there is no file with this name anywhere in the filesystem.

I just submitted a bug [2] but wonder if somebody can help me out right now. How can the console dimensions be configured?

Thanks!

Here is my bug description:

Under Frequently Asked Questions (https://docs.openstack.org/nova/2024.2/admin/remote-console-access.html#frequently-asked-questions), the answer to Q: How do I adjust the dimensions of the VNC window image in the OpenStack dashboard? is incorrect. My Devstack installation contains no file named _detail_vnc.html.

I found a file with the interesting name _detail_console.html under /opt/stack/horizon/openstack_dashboard/dashboards/project/instances/templates/instances, but it doesn't contain the answer's code for width and height.
