The Windows app has several strange and frustrating UX/design decisions.

1) Fixed minimum window height makes layout unusable

Current behavior:

• The app has a minimum window height that cannot be reduced.
• If I have a 2x2 layout (4 codes total), I cannot resize the window to fit exactly those blocks.
• There is always a large empty area at the bottom — roughly ~70% of a code block height.

Why this is bad:

• Wastes screen space
• Prevents clean, compact layouts
• Feels completely unnecessary for a codes-based UI

Expected behavior:

• Allow free vertical resizing
• Let the window snap tightly to the actual content (code blocks)
• No forced empty space at the bottom

2) Scrollbar appearance changes window width and breaks visual consistency

Current behavior:

• When codes don’t fit vertically, a scrollbar appears.
• When the scrollbar appears, the window width increases on the right to make room for it.

• However, the scrollbar is not always visible:

  • It only appears when I hover the window and start scrolling
  • ~90% of the time, it is hidden because my frequently used codes are at the top and I don’t scroll

Resulting problem:

• Most of the time, the window has uneven right padding
• When scrolling starts, the window suddenly changes width
• This creates constant visual instability

Why this makes no sense:

• If the scrollbar is overlay-style (auto-hiding), it should overlay the content, not resize the layout

• Browsers solved this years ago:

  • Overlay scrollbars do not reflow content
  • There are usually options for “overlay” vs “layout-affecting” scrollbars

Expected behavior:

• Either:

  • Always reserve space for the scrollbar (classic behavior), or
  • Use a true overlay scrollbar that does not change window size

• Do not dynamically resize the window only when the scrollbar briefly appears

Summary

• Remove or reduce the minimum window height
• Allow precise resizing to content
• Fix scrollbar behavior so it does not affect window dimensions
• Keep window borders and layout stable at all times

Right now, the app feels visually inconsistent and unnecessarily restrictive for something that should be compact and predictable.
