- Center the taskbar icons.
- Click on the Windows Search box on the taskbar.
- 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.
