Description

Describe the bug
This is related to using multi-monitors when using MS4.
What would be a good idea if possible for a wide dialog such as the Mixer to automatically adjust the window width of the 2nd monitor depending on its size.

Right now i'm dragging the Mixer window from my main screen (which is wider) to my 2nd screen (smaller) and this results in the width now being too wide as it's originating from the original screen width. It would be great if once drag then let go, the window will automatically resize to the 2nd monitor width.

To Reproduce

  1. Open MS4 with Mixer window on a main screen
  2. Drag (undock) the mixer window to the other screen

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Mac OS, would be desired for Windows (that I can not test myself)
