Manually resized regions snap back to original (minimum) size (2)

I was searching the forum if this was discussed already somewhere and found this thread (from 2017) by @bjoern:

Manually resized regions snap back to original (minimum) size

This is a desired behavior for now. So let me tell you that in this case you don’t even need to use the word bug. We could tell the whole story solely by using the word feature! Ah… much better. :D It’s a feature that you now can manually resize, something you couldn’t before. And still we have the auto compact feature that kicks in as soon as you start layouting inside a region. As long as you don’t concentrate on layouting though you can use the resize feature to conveniently make the region …

Actually I don’t find it very useful and very annoying that regions snap back to the minimum size of its content and always thought it is a bug. @gregsn already suggested two possible solutions back then:

A) after manually resizing the region is in a pinned state. Releasing the pin brings back the auto compact feature.
B) after manually resizing the region is in a pinned state. There is no pin that you need to navigate to as this can be painful in larger regions. Shaking an element inside the region brings back the auto compact feature.

I would totally, like 100%, wholeheartedly vote for option B! Resized regions should stay resized!
