Thanks for the bug report. We saw this and spoke briefly about it yesterday. The first thing to note is that the 400 pixel height is pretty small, and hopefully something that not many users will hit. It was suggested that we move the "Detect Displays" button to be on the row of buttons at the bottom. That should shrink it just enough that it fits in this height, but obviously if you made it smaller still you would still be stuck. I also think that the clone checkbox has too much prominence, and moving that could perhaps save a few pixels as well. Seb, do you think fixing this would be worthy of an SRU? If so, would you have a preferred way of fixing it?
