Description

Environment

  • Package version(s): 3.2.0
  • Browser and OS versions: Firefox 61, Ubuntu 18.04

Question

In the example, the panel-stack has a height of 300px.

http://blueprintjs.com/docs/#core/components/panel-stack

[data-example-id="PanelStackExample"] .docs-panel-stack-example has explicit width and height styling.

This isn't mentioned in the documentation and when the panel-stack lacks a height then it isn't displayed at all (it has a height of zero.)

Can you provide guidance? Is there a way to use a panel-stack that isn't a fixed height?

Research direction
Check the PanelStack component in Blueprint's source code (likely in packages/core/src/components/panel stack) and the docs example. The issue asks for guidance on whether PanelStack requires fixed height. The maintainers may need to add a documentation note about height requirements or provide a way to use it without fixed height. Review comments for any maintainer response. The issue can be resolved by updating the documentation or adding a prop for auto height.
