Environment:
- RapidWeaver Elements v3.0.14 (build 24590)
- macOS Sequoia 15.7.9
Description:
When clicking the AI Assistant icon (sparkle icon, top-right of the secondary toolbar) to open the “Set up the AI assistant” panel, the entire editor window immediately snaps to near-full screen height. The window jumps upward and its height can no longer be reduced — only the width remains freely resizable. The top toolbar row shifts from ~82px to ~44px from the top of the screen the moment the panel opens.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open a project in Elements with the window at a normal, reduced height
- Click the AI Assistant icon (sparkle ✦) in the toolbar
- Observe the “Set up the AI assistant” panel appearing (prompting to configure an OpenAI or Anthropic API key)
- Observe: the window height immediately locks to near-full screen; dragging the top or bottom edge no longer has any effect
Expected behavior:
Opening the AI Assistant panel should not force a window resize. The window should remain at whatever height the user had set, with the panel content scrolling or adapting within the existing window bounds.
Actual behavior:
The window height becomes fixed at (near) full screen the moment the AI Assistant panel opens. Width can still be resized normally, but height cannot — it stays locked until the app is restarted.
Workaround found:
Restarting the app resets the window to a normal, resizable state (until the AI Assistant panel is opened again).
Additional notes:
-
This appears to be tied specifically to the AI Assistant panel’s minimum-height requirement, which seems to force a full window resize rather than adapting within the current window bounds.
-
Not a macOS Sequoia system-wide window tiling setting — no other apps are affected, and only this specific panel triggers it.
