I want to have a bottom panel that fill all bottom area with not autohide ability.

Like area from View Mode: Undock but must be View Mode: Dock Pinned.

I know, that is not elastic like NetBeans :( But maybe there is any hint?

Help me, please :)

Hi M1kO,

In order to have a tool window that is anchored to the bottom of the IDE and spans the entire width, you need to leave the view mode as 'Dock Pinned' and disable the 'Widescreen tool window layout' option in the File | Settings | Appearance & Behavior | Appearance dialog (scroll to the bottom).

The sequence of actions is quite non-intuitive, and a ticket exists on YouTrack (IDEA-163652) for the issue. You can vote for it to keep tabs on the progress and optionally leave a comment to draw developers' attention.
