The toolview area under the edit view and statusbar can be sized vertically which is useful for certain toolviews. Not all tools are equally robust however; the Search & Replace toolview doesn't set a minimal vertical size that allows all widgets to be drawn at their normal size. See the attached screenshots. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Kate5 2. Activate the Search & Replace view, in the advanced mode ("Search in", Filter:, Exclude:) 3. Downsize the toolview area to its minimal height Actual Results: See the screenshots. The widgets in the advanced view get clipped. Expected Results: The minimal height should be dictated by the visible widgets

Thanks for a quick (and apparently easy) fix. I haven't yet had time to rebuild; does the calculated container minimum height take into account the minimum height of the "advanced" view regardless of whether it's visible? Not that it's a problem if the toolview area is resized when you toggle its mode...
I just set the minimum size of the sizeHint of the widget with advanced open. So no resizing, but I wonder if it now forces it to be too high... Let's try this and if it turns out it is too high we can do something else ;)
Created attachment 99165 [details] result of the fix, native Mac theme No, the fix seems to work as intended. The view isn't too high, at least not any more so than is usual for the Mac native theme (which wastes a lot of space IMHO). The only thing you might consider is a state variable that keeps track of whether a toolview was shown at its minimal height. That would make it possible to resize it if ever it becomes too high because the minimal height decreased, for instance after changing to a more compact theme or after reducing font sizes.
