Bug Description

I have a 15-inch monitor with a 1024x768 resolution. When I open thunderbird and, say, want to add an email address to the Address Book, a dialog box appears. But because the dialog box is too big, 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons are not displayed. [see screenshot here: http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7060/screenshotb.png] This happens with large dialog boxes from all programs. When I connect the same computer to a larger monitor and change the resolution to 1280x1024, it works just fine. Is this a bug? Or is there a way to resize the dialog boxes or something...?
