Description

### Expected
Window resize should not affect the note layout

### Observed
When restoring app window size from maximized, the note content will be displayed in `one char per line` style:

### Reproduced
1. Easier to reproduce with `View` ~> `Line Length` ~> `Narrow`
2. Maximize the window
3. Select some note with text
4. Restore the window size with a button via window header doubleclick

Research direction

Start by reproducing the problem on Windows or Ubuntu using View > Line Length > Narrow, then maximize and restore a window containing a note. Trace the window-restore and note-layout handling; done means restoring the window no longer displays note content one character per line.
