No, I close it completely after use.

Alternatively, the value should be stored in your pan config in the

Oops, the only two "geometry=" lines in my preferences.xtml are at the end:

        <geometry name='main-window' y='672' w='1664' h='298'/>
        <geometry name='tasks-window' x='1092' y='276' w='553' h='600'/>

Thinking those two "h=" statements might apply here, I changed 
298>598 and 600>300, but that had no effect on the size of the two 
windows.  And those two h= values are the only h= values in the entire file.

The only "header-pane" statements in the file have to do with fonts 
and column widths, and the only "body-pane" statements have to do with colors.

What's strange is that I set that divider to what I like when I first 
installed Pan last year, and that divider stayed in the same place 
until a couple of weeks ago.
