Description
### Describe the bug
The OpenSnitch UI does not work properly on Rocky Linux 9.
Sometimes the notification/prompt popup window becomes extremely small, making it difficult or impossible to read the text and interact with the action buttons/rule options.
This behavior makes OpenSnitch unusable because the user cannot respond to the prompt reliably.
### Include the following information
- OpenSnitch version: 1.8.0
- OS: Rocky Linux
- OS version: 9.7 (Blue Onyx)
- Window Manager: GNOME wayland
- Kernel version: Linux localhost.localdomain 5.14.0-611.36.1.el9_7.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Mar 3 17:30:12 UTC 2026 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
### To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Install and run OpenSnitch on Rocky Linux 9.7.
2. Start `opensnitchd` and run the OpenSnitch UI.
3. Trigger a new network connection that requires a prompt (e.g., launch a new app that makes an outgoing connection).
4. Observe the OpenSnitch popup dialog.
5. Sometimes the popup window appears extremely small.
6. The dialog content and buttons are not usable, and the window cannot be interacted with properly.
### Post error logs
I did not observe an obvious GUI crash, but the popup window is incorrectly sized.
If needed, I can provide logs by launching the UI from a terminal and/or sharing the relevant output.
Suggested commands I can run if maintainers request:
- `systemctl status opensnitchd`
- `journalctl --user -xe`
- Launch the GUI from a terminal to capture any errors
### Expected behavior
The OpenSnitch popup dialog should always open with a usable default size.
The text, rule options, and action buttons should be fully visible and clickable without manual resizing.
### Screenshots
If applicable, I can provide screenshots/video showing the popup window appearing extremely small.
i cant adjust its window size
### Additional context
This issue happens often enough to make the UI unreliable, but it does not occur on every prompt.
