vscode adjust size of notebook cell
For anyone else who comes upon this, in File -> Preferences -> Settings.
Under User settings, under Extensions, under Python, way down in the
Data Science options there is a setting for "Max Output Size"
which controls the cell height before a scroll bar appears.
Or faster, open Settings and type "Max Output Size" into the search bar.
I'm using VS Code 1.45.1 on Ubuntu.
