We insert a JPanel above some selected code.  
What might be the reason it currently:

1. Properly expands to fill the entire screen when I increase the available space (e.g. reduce size of Project Tree View)
2. Does not shrink to fill the entire screen when I reduce the available space (e.g. increase size of Project Tree View)

Turns out `wmin 0` as a MigLayout definition solves the issue.
