Hi Guy, There is no logic in the divider container that checks the minimum width or height of the dividers relative to the size of their container.
I don't think this is to weird on Adobe's part since they usually have a policy (unwritten) that chrome is not part of the measurement algorithm. The dividers are considered chrome and exist in their own UIComponent layer . You probably could subclass and add this measurement but it's not that easy since the DividedBox by nature does not like calling measure(). They do this for performance and relates to their layout implementation.
