 list and the text area).

 If only one element can be resized, I would vote for the list, not the
 message area. Or allow users to resize it manually.

 I understand, that programming perfect GUI is difficult and there is no
 perfect GUI :) just in my opinion and from my usability point of view I
 would rather see the whole list of statuses without scrollbar and have a
 message box not-resizable.
