Hi there,

since one of the latest Photoshop updates (not quite sure which one it was) my "histogram" panel suddendly keeps appearing huge and vertically stretched (see attached screenshot). Running version 26.9.0 on iMac (macOS Ventura 13.7.7). I always have to resize the panel manually after opening new files. This problem never occured in previews versions. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and best regards!

Hi @wolf_parade you can adjust the height of your panels using the tabs to slide them up or down - in this case it looks like "Eigenschaften" has been double-clicked/collapsed closing the panel making the histogram panel extend to fill the space of your docked panels.
