Summary0009744: outsized preferences dialog on netbook
DescriptionUsing 1.4.0svn for the first time, tried to change and save preferences via File... menu
My 10" EEE PC netbook could not display the preferences dialog in its entirety.
Steps To ReproduceHave a 10" netbook

Download and install Scribus 1.4.0svn as described elsewhere.

Select File>Preferences

Try to change your preferences

Workaround: ALT-click on preferences window to enable all of the dialog to be visualised.

Suggested fix(es): 1) Make Save preferences... the default selection (so that hitting return saves any changes made)
2) Tweak whatever needs to be tweaked in Qt so that all dialogs in Scribus recognise that the poor user is using a netbook and needs nice compact dialogs throughout the experience.

This has been fixed in 1.5.0.svn, and will not be looked at in the 1.4.x series.
