UI Alignment Issue in TAG Editor Form (Tab Control)

Hello, Sir!
In the 'TAG Editor' form, I found a minor UI alignment issue with the controls on the tab control. Windows 11 Pro 25H2
Tested on another workstation: Windows 10 Pro 22H2 same behavior.
ProppFrexx ONAIR 4.3.5.1 (DevExpress Dark Style skin)
It looks like the issue only occurs with certain skins.
I have attached a video

Some Themes are using a slightly 'thicker' borders. As such, it appears, that in the TAG Editor (which has many input fields) the right border is slightly (1-2 pixel) closer to the right edge of this fixed dialog.
But this is a very very minor 'design' issue without any functional effect or restriction at all.
This is NOT a bug at all. Or please describe, where you are restricted or experience any bug?

Thank you for the prompt reply. I completely agree with you—this does not restrict any functionality or break the workflow. It is indeed a cosmetic design anomaly rather than a technical blocking bug.
The reason I brought it to your attention is purely about the "fit and finish" of the software. Here is why I believe reporting these minor UI details is valuable:
1. Professional Polish: ProppFrexx is a premium, highly respected broadcasting automation tool. Pixel-perfect UI alignment matches the high standard of the software's powerful audio and routing engines. When borders are clipped, asymmetric, or look like a rendering error, it slightly detracts from that premium feel.
2. Visual Ergonomics: Managing large music libraries means users (including myself) spend hours meticulously working inside the TAG Editor. Even a 1-2 pixel misalignment or a cut-off border creates subtle visual tension and visual clutter. A clean, perfectly aligned interface significantly reduces eye strain during long cataloging sessions.
3. Constructive Contribution: As a dedicated user, my goal is simply to help make the software as perfect as possible on all fronts. I completely understand this is not a high-priority fix. I reported it so it could perhaps be added to a low-priority backlog for future UI polish.
I appreciate your hard work and time. If this is an unavoidable limitation of the underlying UI framework when rendering specific Windows themes, I completely understand!
