Track height in track view

Are all of your tracks resisting resizing, or is it just one or a few tracks?  There's a way you can lock the height of a track, seems weird if they all somehow got locked.  If you right click on the track (on the small track icon near the track name), you can check and see if the "lock height" option (near the bottom of the list) is checked.  I always resize track height by hovering at the bottom of the track I want to resize in the track pane, getting the resize icon (like an equals-sign with an arrow sticking up and an arrow sticking down) and dragging up and down to get the height i want.  It seems like you can still resize this way even if you've checked the "lock height" option.

Can't you just drag the track size with your mouse? Or am I missing something here?

That takes forever if you have a lot of tracks to view, compared with just clicking on the arrows.

If you have a track maximized and then drag-minimize it, if you click the arrows that will make it either minimized completely or maximized to the size it was drag-minimized to.
Drag the track to the size you want it and then the arrows should work to enlarge or shrink the track.

I think I know what you mean and this is how I "reset" my preferred view maybe someone else has a better way?
 
1. Shift click the Zoom Out Vertical (-) at bottom right corner to minimize all
2. Click the Zoom In Vertical (+) at bottom right corner x amount of times until you have track height where you want it (I do 12)
3. Repeat step 1 to minimize all and have them open as you would like with the arrows
 

There must be something missing to your explanation or I'm reading it wrong. I repeat step one to minimize all and the problem isn't solved. They're all just minimized again.

The way I work is to have all track folders and tracks minimized and expand only the one(s) I am working on. I use the arrows to pop them open and closed as needed. Sometimes when I click an arrow to pop open a track, it barely changes it's size like you described in your OP. That is probably due to some previous zoom action I did.
 
To get the tracks back to a consistent size I'll do what I outlined and that should get you back to where you can expand and compress the heights of tracks you are working on using the arrows.

So far so good.

and have them open as you would like with the arrows

 
That isn't working. I could make the tracks the expanded size I want with the zoom function, but if I want to toggle between minimized and a larger size I have to minimize each track individually.
 
There has to be a shortcut because only one or two keystrokes created the problem if it didn't happen spontaneously.
 
When I start a new project or add tracks, the default track height on my screen is 1 1/4". I minimize the tracks to the 1/4" high minimum and they toggle between those two sizes.
 
How did the tracks suddenly stop doing that?
