Menu > Tools > Message Filters > Edit illustrates that the content of a child window can be larger than the parent window's content. I cannot see the add/remove buttons, or all the apply filters. I tried to closing the window, then resizing the parent window, then Edit button again, but the child window only shows a few more controls. I expect to see all the widgets and text in a window. I assume the child window will size itself properly.
