# 4704 Minimizing the TPanel Control Doesn't Work Properly When AutoSize.Height is True

---

In my app I create panels dynamically to display a 2-level tree structure. It's about 30 nodes at the top level and about 600 nodes underneath.

The problem is that these panels with nodes must be initially collapsed, but despite I call Minimize method and their internal state corresponds to the minimized view, they actually are not minimized when displayed. Moreover, this behavior is manifested only if the AutoSize.Height property of a panel is True. In real app their behavior even weirder, but in the attached demo it apparently depends on AutoSize.Height only.
