What's wrong
Poking arround the app, I discovered some issues regarding the window resizing and placements of element.
The effected views are: The power monitor, negotiation and display diagnostics, saved cables and settings.
The issues occur when either detatching the main window from the menu bar or using the button to show it in a seperate window while accessing it from the menu bar.
Note that during the writing of this issue, I have unplugged my Mac.
Resizing hides important ui elements
The window can be resized below a certain threshold as to where titles are cropped or important elements (like the back or done button) are hidden altogether.

The smallest the allowed window size should get is as to be able to still read the title of the view, be able to access important elements like the back and done button, and read displayed relevant information (saved cables, negotiated link speeds) comfortably.
Elements float free when window becomes too large
If the window is resized beyond a certain threshold, elements like the top bar detach and float free. When fitting the window to screen or maximizing it, the issue is intensified.

The title bar should not detach when resizing beyond a certain threshold.
Resizing the width of the window has not caused any issues during my testing.
