The Mixer window cannot be resized if the menus displaying the Name, Patch, MIDI etc. are shown. If this menu is hidden by the arrow below it, then the window can be resized. If the menus are shown and the window is resized by dragging the bounds upwards, then the Mixer window will drop (to system tray?) and cannot be accessed until the client is restarted.

Even when the mixer info is expanded, the mixer can indeed be resized. But there is a minimum height and width for that expanded info portion. So I don't see that as a problem, but rather by design.
I'm having problems reproducing the problem described in your second part: "If the menus are shown and the window is resized by dragging the bounds upwards, then the Mixer window will drop (to system tray?) and cannot be accessed until the client is restarted."

It is a problem for me, as the window becomes too large to view the additional details of parts at the bottom. This convinced me that it was not "by design".
I found that this problem persists in higher resolutions, but I have no idea at which limit. To reproduce the second part, try using a screen resolution of 1920x1080, this was what I had when the menu disappears until restart.
I also have a 1920x1080 monitor, but I'm able to fully fit the mixer, both when expanding and unexpanding the additional info portion and the window size. Your screen shot looks unusual to be because everything is bigger. Did you perhaps set your windows settings to have your display use a scaling or large font size?

You are correct, you are correct. I have totally disregarded the scaling. Let this be an example just in case anyone else experiences similar troubles.
Note for future devs, I do think it is important to be able to have the mixer be resized to take up an abosolute minimal area. Particularly for people using small screens like netbooks (or tablets) or on windows that have high scaling.
