Description Andy Ong 2005-08-18 02:21:54 UTC
Please describe the problem:
I got a laptop with 1024x768 screen, and whenever I try to save something with 
the file saving dialog, sometimes I would inevitably have to "unfold" the 
dialog window by clicking the "browse for other folders" text. The problem is 
that the file dialog would "unfold" itself right across the screen and over 
the edge, making the "cancel" and "save" button inaccessible because they are 
beneath the edge of the visible area, I have to manually drag the save dialog 
window up, and then unfold it to be able to use the two buttons. 

For a clearer picture please go to http://yuanhenglizhen.blogspot.com/ there's 
two screen shots describing the problem.



Steps to reproduce:
From what I found, other laptop users with 1024x768 resolution, don't have the 
same problem as I do. 
1. maximaze application windows
2. select "save as" from the file menu
3. click on the "browse for other folders" text


Actual results:
the file dialog window would "unfold" itself right across the screen and over 
the edge, making the "cancel" and "save" button inaccessible

Expected results:
If the file dialog window is too big to be "unfold" from it's default 
position, which is in the center of the application window, I suppose it 
should automatically position itself abit higher up the screen so that the 
whole window would still be visible when when it's unfolded

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite 2450.
