Rescale the contents of the Properties panel

I feel like I'm missing something basic, and I can't quite seem to find the right search terms.

 

Basically, I want the contents (controls) inside the Properties panel to scale along with the size of the panel. As you can see in my amazing attached image, I wanted to tweak an image just a little using the Levels mask. However, it's very tiny, so I pulled it from the panel group and dragged the window larger. I was rather surprised to see that the actual controls didn't scale with the size of the panel, leaving me with the same size control in a comically large window.

 

Please tell me that I am missing something basic, because while this is equal parts aggravating and amusing, I'd rather have it work how I expect!

 

(This is Photoshop v25.10.0 on Windows 10)

Great point. I've been struggling with the tiny properties panel for Curves. Same as with Levels, slight nudges with the mouse have huge effects there, and are very difficult to pinpoint. We can use the input-output text boxes for precision, but that requires several gestures for each adjustment test. It would be a whole lot easier to be able to zoom in on the Curve/Levels diagram.

(It would also be nice to have Bezier handles on the zoomed-in Curve points, but that's probably a large ask.)

In v25, the histogram for Levels and Curves fixed at 255 pixels wide; see https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem-discussions/inaccurate-histogram-in-properties-pa... 

 

This annoyance works the other way, too, if you make the Properties panel too narrow.
