Height of a Bar can not be set, so when merging menus (for example) the final menu could end up being a different size. Currently, the proposed solution seems to be to add dummy items to the bar and adjust the size accordingly. Although that works, it seems to me that the simple introduction of a MinHeight property could still allow content sizing that is never less than the MinHeight.
Proposed Solution:
Implement a MinHeight property. Allow content sizing to continue as normal, but don't allow the height to be less than MinHeight.
Provide the MinHeight property for the Bar class
