Yes, clicking on a partially diaplayed xforms button will indeed lead to a
crash.
As a work around (since you compile from source) why not change the size of
the preferences dialog
If you have the xforms GUI designer, fdesign:
cd BASE/src/frontends/xforms/forms
fdesign form_preferences.fd
strectch it and save, exit
make updatesrc
this will create the .[Ch] files for all the dialogs, but will
only overwrite the form_preferences.[Ch] files in the directory
above (because only these will have changed).
cd BASE
make
If you don't have fdesign, then you'll have to edit
BASE/src/frontends/xforms/form_preferences.C directly.
