I have a recurring problem, which I don't know if I should classify as a bug. Perhaps I'm just missing something. I tend to work with several layers. Usually three, four or five. I also tend to work with several open docked panels - fill&stroke, object properties, align. My recurring problem is that the layers panel tends to compress to a size in which only two layers are visible. If I close or minimize a dock it will always cause the fill&stroke panel to expand unnecessarily - while the layers panel remains too small. Actually any other panel will expand at the expense of the layers panel. If there are more dock than vertical space, and the scrollbar appears, there's still no way of expanding the panel.
So, is this something that's it's possible to fix? is it window-manager dependant? (I'm on Windows). Perhaps there's some settings file I can change manually to force it to stay just a little bit larger?
