Bug description:
Binary package hint: pidgin
Ubuntu has for a while carried a patch to add scrollbars to Pidgin's
preferences window if the screen resolution is less than 600 pixels
high. In version 1:2.6.2-1ubuntu7 for some reason the patch was
changed to add scrollbars if the screen is less than 700 pixels high.
This is unncessary and actually degrades the experience for users with
600 pixel high screens as they now have to scroll to use the
preferences window even though the window is only about 524 pixels
high.
To demonstrate, open Pidgin's preferences window. Next, change your
screen resolution to 800x600. The preferences window is usable at this
resolution. Close the preferences window and reopen it to see how the
preferences window now doesn't work as well.
