90 Minimum Resize Bounds. 90 of 95.

Minimum Resize Bounds
Objects can have a smallest valid size.
Best experienced with a pointer.
The problem
Unclamped resize can collapse frames to zero, hiding content and making handles unusable.
The solution
Minimum width and height clamps stop resize at usable limits.
Experiment
Play with the values
64px
48px
How it works
- A resize drag proposes a new width and height from the pointer.
- Those values are compared with the object's minimum bounds.
- Anything smaller than the minimum is clamped.
- Further movement past the limit does not shrink the object.
- Growth above the minimum stays free.
Seen in
Text boxes
Frames refuse to shrink below a readable text container size.
Window chrome
Resizable panels stop at a minimum that keeps controls visible.
Image placeholders
Media frames clamp so thumbnails never become unclickable slivers.
Component instances
Design components enforce min width/height from their specs.
