Histogram Shouldn't Have Max Height

[johnlb]

Describe the bug

In 4.8.0, the height of the histogram was limited. This is a problem for large monitors as it makes it difficult to see the scope.

I submitted a pull request (#17045) a month ago that fixes this, but nothing has happened with it so maybe creating a ticket will at least start a conversation about it.

Steps to reproduce

Resize the histogram and it will stop at a certain point.

Expected behavior

The histogram should be able to be any size

Summer time - vacation time.
So please be patient.

The first month or so after a release is pretty much dedicated to fixing any bugs and getting the .1 release out. After that features and non-critical bug fixes start getting merged.

I usually hold off even submitting my PR's until after the .1 release so I don't "clutter" up the process.

The 4.8.1 release tarball was sent to packagers yesterday. The release should be out next week.

Gotcha! Thanks so much for the context that is good to know! I don't have a sense of what a normal turnaround time is for this project, so I figured a month was a reasonable amount of patience; sounds like it just happened to be at the wrong time in the design cycle :-)

I was hoping it would go out on the .1 release, since it was introduced in .0 and is kind of an accidentally regressive bug, but I can see how it would not seem that way if you mostly prioritize critical bugs for .1

Alright the PR went stale after 60 days. I just merged with the latest so I'm pinging this ticket to make sure someone sees it.
