Description
Issue type
UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)
Description with steps to reproduce
- Start MuseScore, window height will be n
- Resize window with height larger than n
This is very inconvenient, I have to restart the app multiple times weekly. When Using a 1080p laptop (where the app was started) with 4k presentation display, this is common breakage.
Supporting files, videos and screenshots

Research direction
Start by reproducing the window resize behavior on Arch Linux with Sway, launching on a 1080p display and moving or resizing it on a 4K display. Trace the startup height constraint and subsequent resize handling; done means the window can grow beyond its initial height without requiring an application restart.
