+1 for 80% of FreeCAD window height. A scroll bar on the side would probably be Ok too.
Something should not work as expected. On my (poor) 1366x768 display, the preferences window is displayed snapped to the top of the screen, but there is something like 1/4 to 1/3 of the window that is rendered off-screen at the bottom. Most of time I just maximize the window on the screen. It's enough so the widget layout is recomputed, scrollbars appear and OK/Cancel buttons are back on the visible area.yorik wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:54 pmThe dialog normally has a max height that is the height of the available desktop area minus 30 pixels: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... p.cpp#L327
But indeed if the preferences window is a bit lower, the bottom part goes below the bottom edge. I wonder if we shouldn't change that to something like: starting at max. 80% of the screen height and centered on screen... Another maybe good option would be not consider the desktop size but the size of the freecad window.
The dialog is actually as high as it will go. If I try to drag the whole window by dragging from the lowest part of the title bar upwards as soon as I release the mouse it pops back inside the screen touching the top. When I try to resize from the top border the dialogs starts to move down even without me moving the mouse. Something is quite wrong...yorik wrote: ↑Fri Feb 08, 2019 1:54 pmThe dialog normally has a max height that is the height of the available desktop area minus 30 pixels: https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... p.cpp#L327
