Description

### Steps to reproduce

1. Resize the Element window — make it wider and then narrower again

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

Room list remains the same size throughout.

#### What happened instead?

The room list resizes as I resize the window. This is not a problem in itself (though I personally would prefer for it to remain a constant size!) The real annoyance is that the size changes *erratically*, and so once you restore the original window size, the room list does not go back to how it looked before.
