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?

Manage changes sidebar

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

Is this a Windows-only problem? The working screenshots from others are both in Linux. I have tested again on a new machine with Windows 11 in safe mode and the problem persists.

I can NOT confirm with Windows 10

Tested with

Version: 25.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e1cf4a87eb02d755bce1a01209907ea5ddc8f069
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 22631); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL threaded

and can't confirm

Lomacar, just a simple test
1. Open an empty document
2. In sidebar open manage changes

Actual and expected result: Empty list has height of the sidebar.
