Expected Behavior

Obs fit to the right size when streaming

Current Behavior

Hi!
I have a 1080p screen in portrait format.
When I use OBS, everything seems to work normally, but as soon as I press the "start streaming" button, the OBS window changes and widens, exceeding the maximum width of my screen, without the possibility of adapting it at the right width

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Starting obs
  2. All the docks are ok at the good size
  3. Click on "start streaming"
  4. Window change i don't know why and is larger than my max screen width size (1080p)
Anything else we should know?

Research direction

Reproduce on Windows 11 with a 1080p portrait screen using OBS Studio 30.0.2: start OBS, confirm the docks fit, then press the "start streaming" button. Trace the window-size change triggered by that action; done when the OBS window remains within the screen width while streaming starts.
