Account edit dialog on 14" 1600x900 laptop

Coming from Thunderbird I see Geary as a nice refreshment. Thanks for a great app!

However after setting up my account I opened the Account edit dialog to add a signature, but as I was unable to see the hole dialog I couldn't save my new signature nor re-size the window.

I would prefer to have the dialog presented in two rows side by side. Alternatively a scroll bar could do.

I'm running latest git-version (r2214.e4376a4) on a Thinkpad T420 running Arch Linux x64 with a 14" 1600x900 screen. This is also an issue in the latest release (0.10).

Hi,
I'm facing same kind of issue on laptop with 1366x768 resolution. When I'm editing Account information on account of type "Other", dialog stretches beyond my screen.

Try applying attached patch (account_dialog_scroll.patch). It's for the src/client/accounts/account-dialog-pane.vala file and it adds scrollbar to the dialog pane.

Note: I'm not official geary developer but it's relatively small fix and it shouldn't break anything else (at least it didn't for me so far :) )
