To my question earlier: how small is too small? The ticket references netbooks. Following on Richard's comment in the ticket: do we have a realistic feeling for how many users were afflicted by this (I don't want to propose excluding users, but the cure may be worse than the disease). Would an alternate solution be acceptable such as a scroll area? For example: users who don't suffer from this might never see scroll bars, but the ones (few?) that do can scroll as needed (eliminating a click but causing a scroll). I also envision this being a more elegant, and easier to implement, fix for other large-footprint dialog boxes.
