VSCODE : Prevent Double Clicking from Expanding Pane

In vscode when you are working with multiple panes split both horizontally and vertically or a combination of the two, and you double click inside of a pane i.e. the content body it automatically expands. This pushes around all of your panes which sucks to continuously reorganize.

Is there a way to shut this off? I can not find the setting.

Here is a gif of what this looks like http://recordit.co/ClOxfe0CYz

After some searching in the settings I was able to resolve this by disabling: Workbench > Editor: Centered Layout Auto Resize

I found that double click on any tab(when you have any tab split) will Toggle auto group size what you experience I believe. So if this happens just double click again on any tab to disable auto resizing.

Try resetting the editor sizes with the "Reset Editor Group Sizes" from the command palette. Thereafter, the focused editor will not expand in size.

Maximizing the focused editor only starts to work if one of the editors was previously minimized or maximized. See how to maximize an editor.
