preferences configuration page doesn't fit netbook screen

[Cody]

Binary package hint: evolution

Not a true bug, but still annoying. While the new Evolution in Ubuntu 10.10 mostly fits small netbook screens, the preferences window, as well as any it creates, still don't fit, often leaving important options or buttons below the viewing area and inaccessible. Especially annoying is the window that allows one to add new mail accounts. The "cancel", "back", and "forward" buttons are hidden, requiring one to blindly tab through and hope he's selected the proper button upon hitting enter.

Perhaps this is already in the works to get fixed (likely, considering I'm using the release candidate of 10.10), but I figured I'd bring it up just in case.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 560612, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

Two more things: You can move windows that don't fit on the screen by pressing the ALT key and clicking in the window -- that should allow you to click any button without "blindly tabbing". For the add new mail thing, I'll add a comment to the other bug.
