Popup Windows Unsuitable for Small Screens

I recognize this is a very niche issue, but I would like to share my experiences nonetheless. I play Gruntz on the Steam Deck. Performance-wise, it runs well. There are no problems when it is docked to a full set of peripherals in Desktop Mode. So I tried my hands at running it handheld, in Gaming Mode. I developed an input configuration which made the game quite well playable.

However, popup windows exhibit a whole slew of problems on a 1280x800 screen. Either the window is far too large and cannot be scrolled, so the bottom of the window is unreachable, or, if the window was detached during a Desktop Mode session, it is fitted correctly to the screen, but it blacks out the rest of the game and the cursor is being registered at such a far offset compared to its real position that nothing can be clicked.

Again, I know not many users will have this kind of problem and the game is really not ideal as a portable title so there isn't much sense in accommodating this, but I still wanted to share this as I've otherwise gotten very far in making the game work on handheld.
