The new export dispatcher confused me when it displayed an incomplete
list of backend options. At first I thought my configuration must not
be loading LaTeX and HTML properly. Then I discovered that the *Org
Export Dispatcher* window does not behave well when the frame is too
small. I am using the GUI version of GNU Emacs for Mac OS X. I
verified that the same problem exists when running in a terminal.
I have the LaTeX, Beamer, HTML, and iCal backends enabled. I open a
new terminal (80x24) and type
emacs test.org
When I invoke the dispatcher with C-c C-e, a new dispatch window opens
at the bottom. The terminal screen looks like this (I truncated a
couple of lines to avoid line wrapping in this email):
---start screen---

The dispatcher does not properly display all available options and
does not use all available space. I cannot get it to scroll. If I make
my terminal window larger (80x40) and do the same thing, I get better
results:
