I see what you mean. Perhaps simply being able to adjust the number of display rows for the palette would be enough. If there was some kind of interface to set the number of rows and columns in the palette display. In the case of your example, the palette is displayed on a 14x4 grid. I could see this actually be a very useful feature when working with larger palettes. I'll need to think about how to present it in the UI, but I think this can be done. Thanks very much for the suggestion and I'll keep you posted on my progress with it!
I think it's a pretty elegant solution, although I would suggest complementing it with a button to increase or decrease the size of the color swatches; I mean, if I had to manage a palette of 216 colors, for example in 18 columns, that would give me 12 rows of colors, and with the current resolution, I would only be able to display approximately 4 rows.
By the way, I just realized that if you resize the screen with the cursor and then use the maximize screen button (the button in the upper right corner), the work area is bounded to the window without maximizing, greetings, and thanks for your dedication!😉
Just wanted to let you know that I put a little time into this today and it looks like this should be fairly easy to implement. I already have it working in basic form, just need a little time to put a proper UI on it. Will keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks again for taking the time to write me with your feedback. To be honest, I can tell already that this is a feature I am personally going to like and use a lot! I'm already kicking myself for not thinking of it sooner. It really does help make the palettes easier to view and work with. :)

Are you able to re-produce this problem? I tried a few times and couldn't get anything to trigger, but I do know the interaction between the app and Windows sometimes goes a bit wonky.
