This PR fixes an accessibility issue where the placeholder text "test@example.com" in the Email TextBox gets truncated when text scaling is set to 200% on the Screen reader support page.
Problem
Users with low vision who rely on text scaling to 200% experienced truncation of the email placeholder text due to a fixed width constraint of 200px on the TextBox control. This violates MAS 1.4.4 – Resize Text accessibility requirements and creates a poor user experience for users who need larger text.
Solution

Width="200"toMinWidth="200"inAccessibilityScreenReaderPage.xaml. This allows the control to:Changes Made
Width="200"→MinWidth="200"on the Email TextBoxThe fix is minimal and surgical, addressing only the specific accessibility issue without affecting other TextBox controls or overall page layout.
Fixes #1960.
