Description Michael Wiktowy 2011-06-09 18:40:07 UTC
When opening Evolution for the first time, the Evolution Setup Assistant starts.

However, on a screen of limited vertical size (like many netbooks that only have 1024x600 resolution) the first screen presented is a mostly empty, non vertically resizeable Welcome screen with the mentioned Forward button well off the bottom of the screen.

Method to reproduce:
1) Open Evolution for the first time or run the Setup Assistant manually.

Results:
The user cannot proceed without using awkward and hidden alt-left-click drags

Expected results:
Since this restricted resolution is not all that rare (especially in tablets and netbooks), the Setup Assistant (and Evolution in general) should be made to fit the display real estate available and use scroll bars if necessary to extend the vertical space.
