This is a wierd, non-standard behavior: when resize the MySQL Workbench windows size, the SQL Editor area has a min size greater than half of the screen (my screen size is 1920x1080). This makes it very bad if I try to put it take half of the screen (Windows Key + Left/Right arrow) - the Windows is supposed to take half of the screen, but it takes about 3/4 of the screen.

How to repeat:
Use Windows key+Left arrow, it should take half of the screen

Suggested fix:
Allow min size much smaller. In fact, why restricted it at all - if the user wants it smaller, let it do it - what hard does it cause???

Hello Jiafu Gao,

Thank you for the report and feedback.

regards,
Umesh

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
