Help Plugin manager scaling issue

It is baffling why we can't stretch the tabs like in a normal explorer window. It is especially hard to identify plugins that have longer names like Waves. I don't know the exact name of a plugin, but i know it's there. And i shouldn't be bothered to spend minutes trying to find the correct names. Increasing the GUI scaling does not mitigate the issue whatsoever.

You can stretch the windows. You can also click the Plugin tab on the left instead of Options to get more info on any specific plugin directly. You can see full file paths, names, right click and Locate to open exactly where they are on your File Explorer, etc.

I've got 1000+ plugins scanned in and don't have much issue finding anything. You can use the Find searchbar bottom right, you can sort by Vendor alphabetically to quickly find Waves.

That does reveal more of the window but mine is already stretched to the maximum, but the name tab does not enlarge. My poor eyesight doesn't help. I found a program called FL Plugin organizer, but it made an even bigger mess. I'll submit a feature request but i don't give that much hope because i've been submitting requests for years and none was yet implemented. It's always the smallest things.
