Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.99.1
### Installation method
PowerToys auto-update
### Area(s) with issue?
Grab And Move
### Steps to reproduce
Take the Firefox window, the cmd.exe window or the "What's new in PowerToys" window.
Alt-RightClick, RightMouseDown and quickly keep moving the mouse right and left.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
Window width follows the mouse movement, increasing and decreasing without any limits.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
At some point, a minimum width suddenly takes hold, and from then on that minimum width keeps growing with the left/right movement.
The window height is less affected, but not immune.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Grab And Move with a Firefox, cmd.exe, or “What’s new in PowerToys” window, using Alt-RightClick and rapid horizontal movement. Compare the window width and height against the expected behavior: both should increase and decrease with mouse movement without the minimum size continually growing.
