qBittorrent version and Operating System

qBittorrent v4.3.1 on Windows 10 Pro (10.0.1xxxx)

What is the problem

If the disk drive being downloaded to becomes full during download (due to the torrent size exceeding free space, for example), an I/O error occurs (as it should) and is logged correctly with a helpful message.

However, the system notification (titled "I/O Error") is too long and cannot be expanded/read in full to reach the part that mentions disk space, which could be very confusing to the layman who wouldn't think to check the logs for why the download stopped.

What is the expected behavior

A more specific and human-friendly message in the system notification on disk full.

Steps to reproduce

Start downloading any torrent larger than the available space on the drive being downloaded to, and wait for the drive to become full. A system notification titled "I/O Error" appears.
