Suggestion

On the screen for selecting which files to download (the first screen that appears when you open the magnet link or torrent file), if the file name is long (does not fit in the box), a horizontal scroll bar appears below to scroll the screen to the right to read the rest. If the vertically displayed file list is also long (does not fit in the box), you have to scroll down the vertical bar first to get to the horizontal scroll bar.

I think the horizontal scroll bar should be fixed, just like the vertical scroll bar, so that we don't have to scroll all the way down to the bottom, scroll the bar and then go back up again to look at the name of a file.

Note: I'm not sure if I should choose the Bug report topic or the Feature Request topic. It seems more like enhancement, so i opened it here.

Use case

Windows 10 (x64) (10.0.1xxxx)
qBittorrent v4.6.2 (x64)

Just FYI there's an option hold shift and scroll to scroll horizontally:
