What is the problem?

When having multiple torrents, and you resize by the top outline, the scrollbars' own sizes are added to the size they need added in order to disappear.

In other words, if a torrent gets out of bounds by 1 pixel; the scrollbars spawn. However expanding the window by 1 pixel does not remove the scrollbars because their own size got added into the equation, which means that when you expand the window enough for the scrollbar to disappear, there will be a needless scrollbar-sized gap left. And trying to reclaim that space through resizing it back is difficult.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have too many torrents that because of a few pixels the scrollbars appears.
  2. Grab the top outline of the window to enlarge it by a few pixels, just enough so the scrollbar disappears.
