can you fix this issue by increasing playback_window_width?

playback_window_width Shouldn't be an option, and it isn't. There is nothing next to the playback window.

playback_window_width actually is a quite confusing naming. width here refers to the vertical spaces and I thought if you increase the vertical spaces then overflowing is not an issue anymore?

right, that's an issue, so we also need to truncate the title when saving file

because I think it's useful to be able to search the cover images using album's name or artist's name

I see, is it because you use spaces in playback_format to add paddings? I think we should disable wrapping when rendering the playback data, then we can also have truncating for free.
