Bug Description

1) Create a bunch of duplicate cards, or a single card that is long

2) Create another card with the same name finish with 'yet to learn'

3) What should happen, and what does happen is that a "There is already data present for this card" comes up.

But in this case, the dialogue is so large, that the 'do not add' 'add anyway' 'merge and edit' buttons are not on the screen. The keyboard shortcuts still work...but it's not clear, without memorizing the respective D A M keys which will do what. You can't see it.

What should happen.

Here's some possibilities:

1) One possibility is that this window should respond to mouse-click-hold-and-drag events. This would let you move the window until you can click on the respective 'do not add' 'add anyway' 'merge and edit'
2) it could just be a different kind of window that comes up that does not have this issue, perhaps with a scrolling area for text
3) the window could just have a maximum size, and any other text is truncated

This isn't really a bug but a feature request. I've added it to my todo list, but since this is a rare corner case, the priority is not very high.

Feel free to report Ubuntu specific problems with the Mnemosyne package here, but for issues with Mnemosyne itself, please use https://github.com/mnemosyne-proj/mnemosyne/issues , as we no longer use Launchpad for development.

I will absolutely not use a microsoft website to report issues with this or any other package. I'll continue to use ubuntu-bug.
