Issue with sidebar subwindows and "small" (vertical) resolution monitors

When toggling on sidebar subwindows (eg. Inspector, Mixer, Play Panel), Musescore seems to try to make the window as tall as necessary to display things properly and then won't let you resize the window to be shorter than this height without closing the components, but you can still maximise the window to get a window height shorter than necessary, which causes issues. (Note my vertical resolution is 900px and have no 1080p monitor to hand to test but I imagine it will also happen there since Mixer+Play Panel is very tall)
If you have the window maximised and then turn the subwindows on, the lower subwindows (Play Panel) are pushed to below the bottom of the monitor and so cannot be seen, along with the status bar of the window. In this case the status bar will remain hidden until the window is unmaximised (moved) and remaximised, which is very annoying.
If you turn the subwindows on then maximise the window, they get crushed together and draw over each other.

PS do these "subwindows" have a proper generic name?
