Comment 29 for bug 805136

I fall into the "Aged and Vision Impaired" category, so, this bug falls into the "serious" category for me.

Ironically, using a large high resolution monitor (mine is a 23" LCD TV set at 1920x1080) creates a large number of font readability problems, and, over the years, I have learned how to deal with most of them.

One basic step to assist the vision impaired is to set the display properties/settings/advanced/DPI to "Large size (120 dpi)" Recently, even this has proven to be insufficient for my vision, so, in order to meet my vision needs, I recently set this to a "custom" value of 150DPI.

When I set it to 150 DPI, SeaMonkey presented me with a serious problem trying to use the "Mail and Newsgroups Account Settings" screen. This screen has no "sizing" options and, at the 150DPI setting the window exceeds the size of the screen.

The default problem is that you cannot get to the "OK, Cancel, Help" buttons. The only option for me was to select the <M>ove option to move the bottom edge of the window over to my second monitor.

Then it get's crazy. SM "remembers" the screen position and the next time this window is opened, it opens with the buttons visible, but the top of the screen inacessbile. At that point, the only option is to remember that <Alt-space> brings up the "Move" menu, and <M> then allows you to drag the window to get to the top fields.

The simple solution would be to assure that _all_ windows have scroll bars and sizing options and to not assume that the os platform offers access options.

A reduced sized screen shot at http://bevhoward.com/stuff/images/OverSize.gif
shows how the mail settings window is clipped when opened in the 1920x1080 monitor with the XPPro display font setting at 150 DPI.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=516586 states that this is "resolved" ...that statement seems to be as a result of not being able to reproduce the problem. This is kernel issue and it is reproducible in different platforms and different versions.

Thanks in advance for any consideration to this problem.
