Description

Automatic window scaling happens when you have text which is wider/higher then the current version but can you make an option for it's direction like from left to right or from right to left (and if needed from up to bottom or from bottom to up?
Reason for that is that if you keep window to one of the corners (in my case upper right corner) and you get window automatically scaled to the right due to logging into private group whole window will move do the right thus text in plugins which stick to the right side along with minimise/close buttons will go to the invisible part of the view until you manually move window to adjust it.
Having transparent/dark theme selected you even can't resize it manually if you don't need to see full name so it makes additional nuisance.

Research direction

Start by locating the code that performs automatic window scaling and the related window-positioning logic; no file or test is identified in the issue. Define how left-to-right, right-to-left, top-to-bottom, and bottom-to-top growth should behave when the window is anchored in a corner, then verify the selected direction prevents controls from moving off-screen.
