Description

If a large number of samples & VSTs fail to load, the error report displayed may grow tall enough to go off the screen.

I believe the prompt should instead stay onscreen (never grow taller than screen size) and display a scrollbar. The ability to resize the prompt horizontally would also allow longer paths to display in fewer lines.

Research direction

Start by locating the error report prompt that appears when samples or VSTs fail to load, then reproduce the issue with enough failures to exceed the screen height. Done means the prompt stays onscreen with a scrollbar and can be resized horizontally so longer paths use fewer lines.
