Bug Description

On a 11-inch screen, the settings window doesn't fit in the screen and it's hard to save configuration changes. It would be nice if there is a scrollbar in the window to ensure that the window doesn't get cut off.

Please see screenshot showing the problem.

I am using the 0.4.17beta1 release on Arch Linux. Qt version: 5.10.1.

The settings dialog is too big with a 1366*768 screen.
I use qpdfview 4.17.99, LXQT 0.14.1, Debian 10 (stable/buster).

Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to report this!

Please note that every window manager allows one to move windows off the screen, e.g. using by holding down the modifier key (Alt on most keyboards) and then dragging the window. This way one can push the window up to reach the buttons at the bottom even on a small screen.

While I would not be against patches that make the settings dialog scrollable, I don't that is really necessary to access all parts of it.

Best regards,
Adam
