Description Emmanuel Lepage Vallée 2018-07-11 18:00:34 UTC 
In the global drawer, there is the name of the application in the drawer header.

This is all and well, but when more space is required in the drawer, it is nicer to get rid of it dynamically instead of having a scrollable drawer.

As of recently, getting to disable the header icon and app name is possible, but the space wasn't fully recovered. Also getting a QtQuick.Layout2 based element to take the full height can be made to work, but it definitely doesn't "just works" when you use `Layout.fillHeight: true`.

In both case, you can dark magic around the issues using Voodoo, but the code is ugly and it should not be necessary.

tl;dr: going from having the header to not having the header while using the full drawer height should work and it currently doesn't.
