Thanks for the info. I have found a workaround for now - I just moved the DSL out from the Jenkins job itself and into a source controlled file, which is arguably where it should have been from the beginning.
In the course of making this change, I have discovered another strangeness regarding this plugin - the DSL textbox actually does not disappear when the checkbox "Flow run needs a workspace" is checked. I guess that could be another workaround, but it is not clear to me how both things could be true. It seems mutually exclusive for one to define flow DSL from a workspace file and also from an in-job DSL textbox. I might have to investigate what would happen if both things were used. I did try investigating via Chrome developer tools what would cause the textbox to disappear, and it seems like it is due to the table's TR element (with class "config-table-top-row") getting added an additional style of "style=display: none" as soon as I scroll down far enough, as soon as the flow dsl text box shows a few lines. This dom change would obviously cause it to disappear. I don't really see what could cause that to happen, there are no network changes happening as I scroll down that I can see, but there are a bunch of "Process DOM-Change event"s happening. I guess one of them could be causing the problem, but they still happen after it disappears, so I'm not sure how to debug further. I'll have to keep looking into this before I feel comfortable taking this one on as a maintainer! But I'll let you know if I can.
