The default height seem to be the maximum height. Can you set the default height to be the minimum one?

[Kien Le]

I'll do that. What do you think the maximum height for this should be?

[Lan Dam]

The maximum and minimum heights you set are ok. Just that when I open, it shows the maximum one.

Another thing I don't know if you think it's important. User can collapse the info which is ok for the normal case. Can we prevent it to be collapsed? If not we may have to think of expanding the text browser when there's warning or error.

I found this

int index = my_splitter.indexOf(widget);
my_splitter.setCollapsible(index, false);
