SUMMARY
Please reduce the min-height of "Subtitle" subwindow. Make it y-scrollable when user adjust and reduce height.

I need to use Kdenlive on a small screen computer (1280x720). 

I split the main layout into two parts: upper part and lower part. 
Timeline is on the lower part, other subwindows are on upper part. So "Subtitle" subwindow on upper part.

The "Subtitle" subwindow seems unable to be y-scrollable when height being reduced. When View->Subtitles is enabled, the subtitle editor makes the min-height of upper part large. I need to disable View->Subtitles everytime after editing subtitle text, to make timeline tracks visible.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
See my video

OBSERVED RESULT


EXPECTED RESULT
"Subtitle" subwindow can be y-scrollable so that can be y-shorter, like other subwindows.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
