JMeter loses max width limit when going from window to maximized and back to window mode
Expected behavior
JMeter preserves window size no matter the maximized/window mode cycle.
Actual behavior
After step 3 listed in how to reproduce JMeter loses the right side limit and all samplers are now horizontally scroll-able, JMeter doesn't recover from this point.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Start JMeter -> it starts in Window mode
- Maximize the window
- Change back to Window mode => problem visible

I can still replicate this issue easily on 5.6.3 on macOS. This is a very annoying bug, expecially for people like me with ultrawide monitor. I would be OK even with a simple button to "reset layout width", since these Swing's layout problems are still NOT completely resolved in 2024 (and still, some people wonder why web-based technologies won the race for GUI applications, albeit being slower to render). I can trace back this issue of "neverending inner width" back to Java Swing/AWT days... man, these frameworks really can't handle layouts at all... they never worked correctly. This is my some people sticked with absolute layouts, back in the days.
