Description
Steps to reproduce
- Open Nextcloud Mail.
- Click New message.
- Observe the position of the compose window.
Expected behavior
The compose window should open in its normal position, with appropriate spacing from the browser edges, as it did before the update to Mail 5.12.0.
Actual behavior
Since updating Nextcloud Mail to version 5.12.0, the New message compose window opens at the far right side of the browser window instead of being positioned normally/centrally.
The issue is visible in the attached screenshot.
