Maximise Height Issue: Window Width Shrinks in Relation to Original Window

When attempting to maximise the height of a window, it is expected that the width of the window remains unchanged. However, in our current implementation, the width of the window appears to shrink in relation to the original window. This issue is particularly noticeable when using the "Simple" padding option with a 10px padding value.

The Problem

The problem arises when the window is maximised in height, causing an additional 10px padding to be added to the original window's width. This results in a window that is smaller in width than the original window, despite being maximised in height.

To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Activate a defined keybinding with a certain width: Create a keybinding with a specific width, and ensure that it is activated.
Activate a keybinding that should maximise the height of that original window: Create another keybinding that is designed to maximise the height of the original window.
Observe the window's width: After activating the keybinding to maximise the height, observe the window's width. It should remain unchanged from the original width.

The expected behavior is that when maximising the height of a window, the width of the window remains unchanged. The window should retain its original width, with only the height being maximised.

However, in our current implementation, the actual behavior is that the width of the window appears to shrink in relation to the original window. This is due to the additional 10px padding being added to the original window's width when maximising the height.

Unfortunately, we do not have any screenshots to provide at this time.

The macOS version being used is Version 15.4 Beta (24E5222f).

The Loop version being used is 🧪 1.3.0 (1451).

To ensure that this issue is properly reported, we have completed the following checks:

Issue written in English: Yes
Issue title is descriptive: Yes
Single bug reported: Yes
Ability to help with fixing or developing this issue: No

In conclusion, the issue of the window width shrinking in relation to the original window when maximising the height is a significant problem that needs to be addressed. We hope that this report provides sufficient information to help resolve this issue and ensure that the Loop application functions as expected.

To resolve this issue, we could consider the following possible solutions:

Review the padding options: Review the padding options available in the Loop application and consider removing the additional 10px padding that is being added when maximising the height.
Modify the keybinding: Modify the keybinding that is designed to maximise the height to ensure that it does not add additional padding to the window's width.
Implement a new feature: Implement a new feature that allows users to customise the padding options for each window, ensuring that the width of the window remains unchanged when maximising the height.

In the future, we could consider implementing additional features to enhance the user experience and address any potential issues that may arise. Some possible features that could be developed include:

Customisable padding options: Allow users to customise the padding options for each window, ensuring that the width of the window remains unchanged when maximising the height.
Improved keybinding functionality: Improve the keybinding functionality to ensure that it does not add additional padding to the window's width when maximising the height.
Enhanced user interface: Enhance the user interface to provide users with a more intuitive and user-friendly experience.

A: The issue is that when maximising the height of a window, the width of the window appears to shrink in relation to the original window. This is due to the additional 10px padding being added to the original window's width when maximising the height.

A: The issue is occurring because of the way the padding options are being applied when maximising the height of a window. The "Simple" padding option with a 10px padding value is being added to the original window's width, resulting in a window that is smaller in width than the original window.

A: To reproduce this issue, follow these steps:

Activate a defined keybinding with a certain width: Create a keybinding with a specific width, and ensure that it is activated.
Activate a keybinding that should maximise the height of that original window: Create another keybinding that is designed to maximise the height of the original window.
Observe the window's width: After activating the keybinding to maximise the height, observe the window's width. It should remain unchanged from the original width.

A: The expected behavior is that when maximising the height of a window, the width of the window remains unchanged. The window should retain its original width, with only the height being maximised.
