UI bug

Bug description

Bring up the Timeline (F12). By default, it's small along the bottom of the main panel. Resize vertically larger and it only goes so far. Undock the Timeline and try to resize bigger. It stops at the same height. It should be able to fill the screen.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Bring up the Timeline (F12). By default, it's small along the bottom of the main panel.
  2. Resize vertically larger and it only goes so far.
  3. Undock the Timeline and try to resize bigger. It stops at the same height. It should be able to fill the screen.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the Timeline widget's resize event handler and maximum size constraints. Check if the undocked window's resize limits are incorrectly inherited from the docked state.
