I can't confirm it with

I have tested in 24.8.2 and it is still a problem. Note that the problem occurs whether the sidebar is docked or floating. The height is NOT restricted for any other panels such as Styles, Navigator, or the new Find and Accessibility panels.

How should I post a screenshot?

Screenshot would be useful. Just click "Add an attachment".

Manage changes sidebar

This shows the content of the manage changes sidebar failing to use the available space in the Writer window.
