Bug Description

When creating a new document, the button to confirm the options of the newly created document is placed outside of the screen in the bottom.

It is however possible to move the window up using alt-mouseclick-drag. But being a blender user, i always disable this function.

(i reported this bug using ubuntu-bug whcih brought me here. it is a bug in krita though... hoping calligra is what krita is called on launchpad)

I try to create a new file, everything is fine. Nothing is out of the norm other than the fact that the window is too big (the window that pops up when you create a new file). The window being too big prevents me from clicking "create file" thus preventing me from even being able to paint. I'm on a Windows 8 if that helps. I'm new to Krita.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a file (Ctrl+N)
2.Click on either custom document or create from clipboard
3.You will notice that you can not re-size or change the window
4.You can't click on "create file"

Actual Results:
That is exactly what happens. Everything else works (Changing background colors, number of layers, PPI setup, etc.) except you (I can't) can't click on "Create file" due to the window being too big and I also can not re-size the window. I also am not able to "scroll" down the window itself. Very frustrating.

Expected Results:
Either allow said user to re-size the window or maybe have the window not be too large?

I am on a windows 8. I downloaded it off of the Chrome browser. It is a 64-bit. Hope I helped.

The size has been changed a few days ago. The next 3.0 version will have it.

I can confirm this in my Ubuntu Studio Yakkety VM. I have linked to an upstream bug that claims it has been fixed in the future krita version 3.0.

As a workaround, you can click on the krita icon on the top left of of the "create" window and chose "Move". Then you can drag the window up and click on the "create" button.
