How to force persistent message pane

Hello, I run a vertical four pane layout (accounts, inbox, message pane, events). Everything is working perfectly except my message pane seems to hide randomly. I think I have narrowed the problem to the message pane min-width cutoff.

If I reduce the size of the message pane it suddenly collapses into a vertical orange bar. I noticed I can reverse drag this vanishing orange bar to restore the message pane. However, I can only grab this orange bar if the "events pane" is hidden.

I know I can just hit a hotkey (which I have masked to a system global hotkey) or go to the menu view>layout>message pane, but after doing this about 50 times I was wondering if there is some setting to disable this behavior entirely. I suspect this behavior is due to the many negative feedback about the message pane I found in my searches, but I want to say that I really like and need the message pane.
