    So, in the script "Window_MenuStatus" of my game, I changed these lanes

    Spoiler
    def window_height
    Graphics.height
    end

    to this:

    Spoiler
    def window_height
    Graphics.height * 0.75
    end

    and the lanes

    Spoiler
    def item_height
    (height - standard_padding * 2) / 4
    end

    to this:

    Spoiler
    def item_height
    (height - standard_padding * 2) / 3
    end

    in order to achieve this specific character window size:

    However, there exists an unwanted graphical bug. There's a "blank space" in the menu from the window that gets cut, which I don't desire at all. So, how could I fix that, by preventing that space of the window from being cut?

    Thanks in regard.

    So if I understand correctly, you want the window on the right to be 3/4 of the height and show 3 characters instead of being 4 characters in a window with full height.

    The changes you made to the window_height are good. No problem there. The problem comes from the change you made to the item_height. You should have just leave it as it was. To display 3 characters, meaning to cut the fourth one, you reduced the size of the window to 3/4 of its original size, meaning that if you keep the item height, it will only fit 3/4 of the original amount, meaning 3.

    I checked my own project, I did exactly the same. Although instead I use this
    Code:
      alias ed_window_height window_height
  def window_height
    ed_window_height - (24 * 4)
  end

    The code is explicitly state height minus padding, means the blinking cursor will be divided by 4.
    It's the correct way of changing item height.

    However, I'm here fail to understand the "blank space". There're a lot of blank space and I don't know which one are you referring to. The way you code, you want it to fit 3 characters, and you don't display 3 characters. It could be means the blank space on the status menu (which again I fail to understand why if it's was your intention anyway?)

    Or is it the blank space between window gold and status? or menu command with whatever the new window is?

    TheoAllen, you are right. I actually forgot to add the image of the item menu.

    Here it is:



    Can you help me?

    I forgot how it works, but it taken from my game that solve the problem, I need to re-learn what I've done though
    Code:
    class Window_MenuStatus
 
  alias ed_window_height window_height
  def window_height
    ed_window_height - (24 * 4)
  end
 
 
  def item_height
    (height - standard_padding * 2) / 3
  end

end

class Scene_Item
 
  alias ed_menu_start start
  def start
    ed_menu_start
    y = @actor_window.height
    @exview = Viewport.new(0,y,0,0)
    @dummy = Window_Base.new(0,-@actor_window.height,
      Graphics.width,Graphics.height)
    @dummy.viewport = @exview
  end
    
  alias ed_menu_update update
  def update
    ed_menu_update
    @dummy.x = (cursor_left? ?  -(Graphics.width - @actor_window.width) : 0)
  end
 
  alias ed_menu_terminate terminate
  def terminate
    ed_menu_terminate
    @exview.dispose
  end
 
  def show_sub_window(window)
    width_remain = Graphics.width - window.width
    window.x = cursor_left? ? width_remain : 0
    @viewport.rect.x = @viewport.ox = cursor_left? ? 0 : window.width
    @viewport.rect.width = width_remain
    window.show.activate
    @exview.rect.x = width_remain
    @exview.rect.width = Graphics.width - width_remain
    @exview.rect.height = Graphics.height - @actor_window.height
  end
 
  def hide_sub_window(window)
    @viewport.rect.x = @viewport.ox = 0
    @viewport.rect.width = Graphics.width
    window.hide.deactivate
    activate_item_window
    @exview.rect.width = 0
    @exview.rect.height = 0
  end
 
end

    EDIT:
    This only works if you have few item in your game though

    It's just as I wanted when I select items from the left column, but it still bugs out when selected out from right column.

    This is a random guess, try to change this
    Code:
    @exview.rect.x = width_remain
    into this?
    Code:
    @exview.rect.x = cursor_left? ? width_remain : 0
