Well, I am running GnuCash 4.8 usually in Ubuntu 22.04, and I see that the Preferences window fills the vertical space where my display is set to 1366 x 768. There is no need for the window to be that tall and fixed in size without a scrollbar. I would file an enhancement bug report to give that window a scrollbar, if nobody else beats you to it.
