Description
System details:
Positron and OS details:
Current main branch
Windows (but probably not a windows only issue)
Interpreter details:

Describe the issue:
When running smoke tests on windows, the screen can be small enough that when the URL is off screen, the Run App URL matching gets confused.
@sharon-wang has some insight to provide context
Steps to reproduce the issue:
- Run the Python Apps test on windows CI
Test fails as the app is not displayed in Viewer.
Expected or desired behavior:
Test to pass
Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?
