fix(gui): open the About dialog wide enough for its content#99
Merged
Conversation
The dialog opened at a fixed 640px, but the width its content needs tracks the app font size and the active language: at larger text sizes (and even at the default 12pt, where the content minimum is 626px but the fixed size left only a 602px viewport) the widest rows overflowed and the scroll area showed a horizontal scrollbar over a short static page. Derive the opening width from the content's minimum plus the scroll-area chrome, clamped to the available screen, so the dialog always opens showing its full width.

Problem
The About popup could open too narrow and show a horizontal scrollbar. Its opening width was fixed at 640px, but the width the content needs tracks the app font size and the active language. Reproduced offscreen: even at the default 12pt the content minimum is 626px while the fixed size leaves a 602px viewport (scrollbar already visible); at 16pt the content needs 765px and at 20pt 933px.
Fix
Derive the opening width from the scroll content's minimum width plus the scroll-area chrome (vertical scrollbar, frame, layout margins), clamped to the available screen, keeping 640x720 as the floor. On a normal desktop the dialog now opens with no horizontal scrollbar at any text-size setting; on a genuinely too-small screen it clamps to the screen and scrolls, which is the best available behavior.
The changelog entry rides in the still-unpublished 26.07.01 section so the fix ships with today's release (rc.2 to follow).
