Unusable dialog box(es) on small-format screens (read: netbooks)
The following is a request/demand/plea:
I often use a netbook for mobile computing and it has a relatively small screen. Now, I'm not expecting *everything* to be formatted for small screens, but screens/dialogs that can be, *should*
For example, it is currently not possible to post a solution because the version/comments dialog is so large that one cannot see/reach the post/accept/OK button at the bottom of the dialog box. Luckily, the Esc(ape) key allows you to back out of it (or I would have been in serious trouble). The Enter key should cause the dialog to be accepted. In addition, the comments box could be made smaller and/or provide a scroll bar.
I haven't necessarily run into this with other dialogs specifically, but these guidelines should be applied across the board, where possible.
With the popularity of netbooks increasing, this just makes sense.
