[fusion-users] JX Panel height

[Paul Spencer]

Jx and panels are getting an overhaul right now.  The interaction  
isn't changing significantly though.  I don't think I agree with a  
single click on the title bar maximizing the panel, that seems overly  
aggressive to me and prone to users complaining about it.  For now, we  
will stick with clicking a button or double clicking the title bar to  
maximize, and click/drag to resize.

I am contemplating a more traditional 'Accordion' mode where only one  
panel is open at a time, which would have your proposed style of  
interaction (click title to open panel) and no dragging of title bars  
- but this is not in there yet.

Cheers

Paul
