I don't think that I fully understand what this bug is describing.

I've attached a video attempting to reproduce, but the behavior looks as expected to me.

Ciprian, can you show me what you're seeing?

I expected the translations box to resize as well when shrinking the height of the window. I looked at a textarea HTML sample for comparison, and it seems that the textarea doesn't change its height either, so this might be the expected behavior in Firefox.

I'm seeing the same results as you, see here.

Thanks for clarifying! This is expected behavior.

The UI elements have a specified minimum height that they adhere to.

Shrinking the window won't reduce the size below their specified minimum proportions (which are the default). The page's zoom level can be changed to adjust when needed.
