discover search results on a 4k monitor

SUMMARY
When using a 4k monitor the screen space is not optimally used in the Discover results window.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. use a 4k screen with scaling set to 1x
2. open Discover, search for an application to install and click on one of the results once

OBSERVED RESULT
Notice how the column with the search results is not taking advantage of the large space available in the screen; the descriptions are all cut short while the panel with the description of the selected application is needlessly big

EXPECTED RESULT
The screen space is used in a better way with a better balance between results column width and description panel width. I'd say at least 1/3 of the available horizontal space?

Can you take a picture of your set up so we can understand how you use it?
It seems like the set up needs scaling otherwise.

Can't proceed until I understand the issue.
