Can anyone explain the rationale for this ? Why /do/ developers
believe that there is an optimal size for a dialogue box, and s@d the
poor user if the data that he or she is trying to enter or display
does not fit ?
Why do you believe developers believe this?
Because of all the evidence that supports this belief. Why else
inflict non-resizeable dialogue boxes (and non-copyable text)
on poor, long-suffering, users ?
The answer is in the parts of my post you edited out.
Yes, I agree : there is evidence to suggest that in some
circumstances, the task is non-trivial. But I was responding
to your question as-asked ("Why /do/ you believe ..."), which
was not intended to suggest that my beliefs have not altered
(at least w.r.t. this particular manifestation) in the light
of your response and of the evidence that you adduced.
