Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]

I don't currently use clipboard module because there's CopyQ and its tray icon, but back when I used to use it I would often copy something with either a lot of lines or very long lines. In these cases the popup size would even exceed my monitor size.

Describe the solution you'd like

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
The more info here about what you are trying to achieve, the better - there's likely more than one way to go about implementing a solution.

I've been thinking about #1011 and remembered about this issue, so I thought just wrapping entries (to address entries' width and height) and the entry list itself (to address the number of entries) into ScrolledWindow should be simple and straightforward.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

I personally just use CopyQ anyways.

Additional context

Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Here's what it currently looks like:

A long line was copied and the popup doesn't fit on the screen.

Actually I'm dumb I forgot truncate exists for this module as well 🤦.
But anyways, there's no vertical truncation, so still the same issue with the widget exceeding monitor size.
