In general, views should not be resized to zero width or height. A lot of times things will break internally (divide by zero errors or visual artifacts). This was even more likely in the days of springs and struts, when shrinking a view to zero width/height meant -resizeWithOldSuperviewSize: lost all the information necessary to apply springs and struts.

If you want to remove a view, you should really remove it from its superview. You could look into NSStackView, which will do this automatically if constraints cannot be satisfied.
