Blocks of variable size do not resize column when they change

So lets say you use have a block provided by a module like quicktabs that can change in size (quicktabs does this by letting you put a bunch of blocks together into one block, using tabs to switch between them - the blocks on each tab are not necessarily the same size).
If the block was initially one height and changed to have a greater height that exceeds the current column height, the column height will not resize until you drag and drop the block. You are therefore able to have a block that is taller than the column it is in (and so the bottom of it is cut off - or at least it is in chrome).

I don't know if this would need a custom fix in every module that allowed such an size change or if a more generic fix is possible - I hope for the latter.
