EP-Preferences unintended page switches with some translations Bug #5129

Description

@N1ckel99

Before reporting your issue

  • I have confirmed that this issue does not happen when ExplorerPatcher is not installed
  • I do not have "register as shell extension" enabled
  • I have tried my best to check existing issues

Repro ExplorerPatcher versions

ExplorerPatcher: 26100.8457.70.3

Repro Windows Versions

Windows 11 Pro 25H2 26200.8875
Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.334.0

Third-party tweak software installed

OS-installation .iso stripped using Chris Titus' Winutils WinCreator

Describe the bug

  1. Install EP
  2. Set language to German
  3. Select File Explorer Options "Datei-Explorer"
  4. Click the checkbox-toggle to the left of either "Moderne Suchleiste deaktivieren" or "Höhe der Adressleiste verkleinern"
    Note: Any toggle on any page triggers the bug as long as it is positioned close enough to "Einstellungen und Dei..."

Expected outcome

  1. After switching to german: "Settings and uninstall" sidebar-entry shows the translated label "Einstellungen und Deinstallieren" fully.
  2. Clicking the toggle, toggles that respective option. Nothing else happens.

Actual outcome

  1. Page-selection sidebar is too small for the translation and does not scale --> second to last entry is abbreviated to "Einstellungen und Dei..."
  2. Clicking the toggle triggers a switch to the "Settings and uninstall" page. When returning to the page where the toggle was clicked, it does show as having been toggled, although i can't verify functionality for every affected option.

Additional info

I'm a newbie. Writing this almost took me 2 hours because I wanted to correctly follow bug-reporting convention. Sorry, if for a bug this simple, this should've been a one-liner instead
