Resizing a UI panel works normally until it makes the image be a minimal size(?) then it keeps expanding toward the outside of the window, past the window size

Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 10 with darktable 5.0.1 using the reported right-panel resize steps, a PNG, and a fresh configuration directory. Start by tracing the desktop UI handling for the right panel's resize bar after the image reaches its minimum size. Done means dragging left continues to make the image smaller instead of expanding the panel beyond the window.
