LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ Large dialog boxes are too large

[hanzo2001]

The title says it all. My main beef is with "define output profiles" as it spills below the edge of my screen and the save, cancel buttons are out of reach.

I've tried all sorts of window move and magnifying glass features but I still cannot reach the bottom.

Can anybody give me a hand and drop me a snapshot of this dialogue box? (buttons are reachable with tab)

I have an open thread on StackExchange (Super User: http://superuser.com/questions/879359/how-can-i-see-bottom-of-dialogue-box-that-is-offscreen) just in case someone can reach a final solution.

PS: I forgot some important info

Hi and welcome, by now, you have 3 answers at SuperUser. Crossposting isn't a problem, if you crosslink as well. Thanks, i am a smiling moderator right now.

I hope the answers are actually helping. Can you summarize the working solution here as well?

The solution that worked for me presented at superuser.com is How can I see bottom of dialogue box that is offscreen? by user MonkeyZeus. Mind you it's a temporary solution that kills my neck (change orientation of the screen to portrait) but it solved the problem of accessing buttons that were offscreen.

Assuming you have a natively widescreen monitor:

It might sound silly but you need more vertical screen real estate so the only temporary solution would be to rotate your screen by 90 degrees.

Set the orientation to portrait and then reverse the resolution setting. In my screenshot I would need to set the resolution to 1200x1920 if I want to use portrait mode.

A screenshot can be found over at SuperUser as well.
