In first screenshot you can see tableview is positioned correctly. In second screenshot when app is resized to max size the tableview doesn't grow to fill in gap from the bottom of the table to the bottom of the pane. How do I fill in that gap? I set the max height to max for all the elements already. Not sure what else to do.
