When clicking the New Card button in the Address Book, the dialog box that
appears is too tall for any resolution lower than 1024*768, not to mention being
poorly positioned on the screen.
I am running on a monitor that can't do better than 800*600 well. When I click
the New Card button, the box appears down and to the right every time. If I pull
the title bar up to the very top of the screen, I can barely see the OK and
Cancel buttons just peeking above the taskbar. For someone running a 640*480
resolution (God bless 'em), the OK and Cancel buttons would be impossible to
reach. For 800*600, they are just decidedly inconvenient.
It seems the better approach would be one or more of the following:
1) Make better use of the available space (there is a lot of wasted space
between the 3 main categories)
2) Either move some of the info to another tab (or new one), or provide a "More"
button that expands the box horizontally, or opens an additional dialog box.
3) Center the dialog box (horiz. and vert.) on the screen when it appears. This
part at least should be an easy hack.
