Panel resizing in vertical axis doesn't work

Finally found someone with the same issue. There is no documentation at all about this behavior in AME, and no explanation of why the panel height is locked or behaves differently across machines.

I can confirm this issue is still happening in 2026.

On my machine, the panel height seems to be locked to 256.33px, while on a colleague’s machine it is locked to 400px. The value appears to be fixed per system and cannot be changed.

There does not seem to be any consistent relationship with screen resolution, UI scaling, or the values defined in the manifest.

This bug is low priority. I would suggest that you build a windowed application.

Hey, do you happen to know what level of priority this issue is? I'm wanting to release a plugin, but I don't know if I should release it as a panel or a separate window. 

Thanks!

Can you share your manifest file?

I will file a bug for this. Thanks for letting us know.

Can confirm this issue in CEP panels for AME has existed back to 2018-2017. Since AME scripting is now officially supported, would be great to get this one fixed!
