Description
After updating VBox to the latest 7.1.8 release (from 7.0.14, Win10 host) I noticed that the VBox Manager window has quite increased in width, far more then actually needed. Now it's taking more than half the screen in my secondary monitor, where I usually keep it permanently open in order to always have it under my eye.
I hoped I could simply drag to narrow the window as desired, possibly seeing a horizontal scroll bar appear, but apparently that's only partially possible because the dragging stops long before the edges reach the actual window content.
I had already noticed this behaviour years ago, in previous versions of the program, and I hoped that developers noticed it as well, but with this latest update the "superfluous" width has increased even more.
I know it's not a big problem, and maybe that's the main reason why other issues always prevail. It would be nice, however, to be able to size the window according to your needs, as in most programs.
