Expected Behavior

I would expect that the window would spawn with a more sane size, or at the very least be able to be made smaller, and truncate the window titles.

Current Behavior

The windows width will be large enough to fit the longest title of the avaliable sources, and cannot be made smaller.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Have a large source title avaliable. For instance, window capture chrome with a long title window (example: https://www.reddit.com/r/science/comments/11i92e6/ethical_leadership_in_workplace_settings_can/)
  2. Go into Tools > auto scene switcher
  3. Observe its large size, and the inability to reduce the width of the window
Anything else we should know?

The example link provided spawns the window with 1780px for me. I expect this can also be much worse if you find a title that is worse than the example provided, but already this would be a problem on smaller laptop displays.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue through Tools > auto scene switcher on Windows 10 with a source title like the linked Chrome window example, then locate the auto scene switcher window implementation. Done means the window opens at a usable size and can be narrowed without its width being forced by the longest source title.
