Bug description

After launching MuseScore 4 and its window opens, it is not possible to resize the window so that it only occupies the half left/right of the computer screen by dragging the window to the left/right side.

This works for most other programs I use but not MuseScore 4 at this moment, which is kind of an inconvenience when working on multiple scores.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Open MuseScore
  2. Drag the window to the left or right side of the screen
  3. Window size is unaffected

(Firefox used as an example for which such resizing by dragging works.)
