Normally the panel is not resizable and works correctly with correct size.

But using the panel in ID CC2018 it is frequently open to a larger size than necessary and growing at every launching until it becomes unusable.

To adjust the size, it is necessary to reset the preferences of ID

Some ideas on how to solve the problem?

Thanks

Hello,

This is not much help, I have seen this before with the links panel. Could it be related to the width of some of the controls on the panel. Can you set a minimum / maximum size on the controls?

I saw a similar behaviour on AI CC2017. As it was a simple test at the time, I didn't put much attention at this time and the problem went away later.

FWIW, in the old flex based extensions, I had a similar issue where the panel wouldn't honour the expected dimensions. I ended resising teh panel programatically a few ms after the panel is dislayed. You could try the same here.

I've seen other people complain about Photoshop CEP panel sizing issues in CC 2018, and it was filed as a bug.

Elsewhere I've heard:

CEP panels in InDesign cannot be resized at times. Mainly because the bottom resize handle is not visible. If you minimise the panel and then maximise it, the bottom resize handle of the panel should reappear. This is an InDesign bug.

I can confirm that it's a well-known bug (discovered in the early days of CC 2018 and survived, at least in Photoshop, through point updates). The CEP team is informed, but there's no ETA available.

Che facciano con calma dai.. tanto non è un bug serio...

Anybody knows if this bug is solved?

It's 7 months after CC2018 is on the market... and panels are still resizing..
The last Update didn't solve anything, at least for InDesign.

7 Months is very little time when it comes to Adobe bug fixes, some of which are at least a decade old.

My understanding is that an attempt was made but it failed.

Expect a fix to come with a bit of luck some time this century.
