The playable area in the map editor is stuck at a very tiny size, that i can't really use.

I have tried editing "border size" in the map settings, many times in fact, tried setting the map to a larger size, and changing the "anchor", though i'm not even sure what that is.

so far all i have is an orange square in the middle of my map, that i can play in when i run the map. i cannot use any other area, and anything placed outside of it is outside the area my camera can get to. units placed outside it can walk into the area, but it means i'm limited to a very small area of the map to use.

No matter what i try, no matter what numbers i change, or if i try to drag the square, or anything, or edit ini file, or whatever it remains, and i am stuck with the same area, the same size, which basically means unless i'm making a tiny map, the entire editor is rendered useless to me.   Screenshot (390).png (1,024kb) downloaded 61 time(s).

You set the playable area(the orange box) with 'Horz(x)size' and 'Vert(y)size', you set it to 100x100 so that is quite tiny, try 400x400 with bordersize 50 and check again.
The bordersize is a non playable area, you can use it for intro's or spawning troops, you can unshroud the border with a script
