I have noticed the minimum size for Axis when tuning my system, trying to make room for HALSCOPE and the calibration window. I believe the window manager is doing the actual re-sizing, not Axis itself. (I could be wrong on this) I first started looking into this, after using pncconf, and selecting to maximize Axis. Then opening LCNC and finding it filled the screen, plus being off the bottom by about 30 lines. Couldn't have that, important status down there!
