Removing empty space in text field?

[AndreasvanHaren]

I am stunned why I cannot get rid of the white space in a text field. 

I created a note window for my solution that runs in a separate window. I want to be able for the user to resize it as small as possible, the same way it can be done with the native TextEdit app the Mac. But even with the layout settings set to the minimum, I get this result, I cannot drag the bottom windows side higher:

This is how the layout looks like:

Any idea what causes this?

How is the window being created?  What kind of window is it (floating, modal, card, etc.)?

Here is the script that creates Notes.

It works for me, I can resize the new window.  Just to clarify, you're not talking about resizing the actual notes field, but the entire window?

The second thing I noticed is that the second script step doesn't appear to be working as your window title stays as 'Notes' and doesn't change to "Storycraft 2018-Notes"

Yes, I mean the window itself, which then also would eliminate all that white space because the field is anchored on all sides.

Ah yes, this is an unneeded step. I took it out, thanks for noticing that.

btw. What's the difference between Lock On and Lock Off in the Zoom step?

This would have been a lot more obvious prior to version 16.  The zoom controls used to be at the bottom of the document window and users could use the - / + buttons to zoom in and out.  The script step would lock / unlock it so that users could not use the buttons.

With version 16 and up, the option is in in the View window or keyboard shortcut.  Locking it with the script step would disable users to change it from the view menu.
