Describe the bug
  1. Set Taskbar style to Windows 10 in ExplorerPatcher.
  2. Center the taskbar icons.
  3. Click on the Windows Search box on the taskbar.
  4. Observe that the search interface opens heavily glitched and cut off on the right side.
Expected outcome

The Windows Search box interface should display properly and be 100% visible, without being cut off or misaligned.

Actual outcome

The Windows Search box interface opens completely glitched and cut off on the right side. It is not 100% visible, making it impossible to see or use properly when taskbar icons are centered.
