i! I’ve read through the issue The problem occurs in the “Manage Profiles” dialog under the General tab when the mode is set to SSH. The layout doesn’t behave correctly there’s unnecessary horizontal scrolling or the right border of the dialog moves oddly. This likely happens because one or more widgets in that tab (such as text fields or labels) don’t resize properly or have a fixed minimum width, causing the layout to expand beyond the window size. My plan is to: Reproduce the issue locally. Inspect the dialog layout in the Qt Designer or in the Python source code (probably manageprofiledialog.py or similar). Identify which widget or layout causes the overflow. Apply a minimal fix likely by adjusting layout stretch factors, size policies, or the scroll area properties without changing the overall dialog layout.
Please confirm if this understanding is correct.
