The dialogbox buttons can't be seen with this resolution

My laptop has a rather small resolution (1024*600). I'm using 1.12.9 with Xubuntu. 

As a result, I can't use the "Insert graphic tool", on of the key features of Gnumeric. Indeed, the windows doesn't scale to my resolution, and I can't click on some buttons.


Right now, I'm forced to use the Alt+Drag option to drag the windows out of screen to access the buttons.

It could be easily solved by allowing to downsize this window, thus creating a scrollbar on the right side. For the moment, the window can only be enlarged.

I don't understand what you are saying.

The screenshot you attached shows no dialog whatsoever.

My bad : I didn't attached the correct file.

Here is the link to the correct image : http://share.cherrytree.at/showfile-23394/gnumeric_issue.png

As you can see, the window is too large to fit in this screen, and access to the buttons located at the bottom of the dialogbox is jeopardized : http://share.cherrytree.at/showfile-23395/gnumeric_issue_2.png


Excuse me if I was unclear explaining this issue, I'm not a native speaker. The "insert graph tool" may be called differently in english, I hope you understood what I was refering to.

I see the problem.  I don't see any easy solutions, though.
