Expected behavior
When clicking on "Sign in with a code", the window that appear ("Device code authentication") should be large enough to display the code.
Actual behavior
The window "Device code authentication" is too small, making the authentication code unreadable (cf screenshot):
... and this window is not resizable, so no workaround on this side.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the "Device code authentication" window on Linux Mint and trace the GitHub device code authentication entry point. The issue is done when the authentication code is readable at the default window size and the window provides a usable resizing workaround; verify the behavior through the sign-in flow.
