It is comparable to the 'stickiness' of the data grid's column-widths.

If you do (in a 'Query tool' window):

select *
from (
values
(
'multiline record'
|| chr(10) || 'that'
|| chr(10) || 'consists'
|| chr(10) || 'of more than 1 line'
)
)
as t(x)
;

followed by F5, if will show the data in a grid with that record's data with the height of a
single line. Initially this is OK, but when you enlarge it with the mouse, and press again F5, the
enlarged height of the (grid-)row is reset to 1. This should, I think, ideally be 'sticky': it
should retain the enlarged height of the grid's row, at least when the query's select-list is the
same (or similar?) to the last-ran query (make it comparable to the grid's column width
behaviour).

Great, I hoped that would be the case...

Thank you,
