Messages still doesn't collapse to bottom of page

[kevcunnane]

Issue Type: Bug

Run a query such as create database. Collapse messages
Expected:

• Messages goes to bottom of the editor since there's no content
  Actual:
• Messages stays 1/3 up the screen. Smallest it'll go is 25%
• It's confusing as below it is empty so it looks like a bug

I fixes one issue which was allowing messages to collapse down with respect to results. But there is a different request here which has never been a feature which is allowing the entire results grid to collapse down; which is a feature request that I can handle when I merge in my query editor refactor.

Here is a more recently reply on this issue that I'll capture here since this is the active tracking bug.

snipped from #5498
if the query returns enough results to fill the available screen space then the resultgrid should be resizable to fill that space. If the query doesn't return enough results to fill the screen then the messages pane will occupy the available space. There is more discussion of this behavior in #3177. Please let me know if that doesn't address your question.

I agree that the current behavior is confusing. We had a fix that collapsed the Message to the bottom even when the resultset didn't fill the available area, but that change had several side-effects and needed to be reverted. We're planning to move the Messages into its own tab soon, so we decided to wait for that change rather than try to correct the previous attempt at fixing this.

This is fixed in the June release.
