Panels disappear when they don't fit in the window

Problem: When the window is not high enough to show a panel, such as the console or the output panel, it disappears and refuses to show until the window is resized to be large enough again.

Expected behavior: When the panel in question would no longer fit, resize it to 50% of the height of the window.

Steps to reproduce: Open console. Resize window until console no longer fits.
