Describe the bug
With Vortex v2.0.2 (5/19/2026), the top notification box (i.e., the green box when clicked on the notification icon) will overflow to right, piercing outside of the window, if the fontsize is greater than 12, on a QHD monitor (2560x1440). This happens with different themes (only quickly tested with "compact" and "classic").

To Reproduce

  1. Go to "Settings" on the left panel.
  2. Click on "Theme" tab.
  3. Choose any theme preset and clone it for customization.
  4. Change the "Font Size" to any value greater than 12.

Expected behavior
The notification box will either (1) wrap around to multiple lines if one line does not fit and not overflow, (2) moves to left to accommodate the bigger font, and not overflow.
