Description

Using 3.0a10, Windows 8.1, and screen size 1920x1080. Changing 'editor.window.height.default' to any value above 710 pixels increases the height of the console to about half of the PDE window height.

Research direction
Investigate the PDE source code, likely in the `app` package, to find where `editor.window.height.default` is read and how it influences the console pane height. Check the layout logic that sets console height relative to the overall window. The issue may be resolved in later versions, so verify with current Processing 4.x.
