Bottom bar has styling issues when window is adjusted on mac #252421

Description

Type: Bug

  1. (Mac user) Use a large monitor and make the vscode window as wide as the screen (not necessarily fullscreen mode)
  2. Run an app or something that will make the bottom blue bar filled with content.
  3. Make the window width half the size
  4. the notification bell icon that is normally on the far right will be cut off with no option of finding it in the half width. Thus the only way to access the notification button would be going full screen width again.

It is a niche issue I know but could maybe just be a good idea to have some sort of styling that pulls all the content in the middle of the bar into a "..." icon or something that can be toggled to show that information or not so that the notification bell on the right is always shown. Thanks!
