Hi! Well, doing Alt-F7, then moving bit by bit with the arrow keys, did work to move the window up, so it can be used to edit the Preferences window. I thought I had tried that earlier without success, but maybe I just wasn't doing it "right". Unfortunately, nothing worked to resize the window. It seems to have a minimum vertical and horizontal size programmed in, so that it can be resized to be bigger than, but not smaller than the built-in minimum dimensions. BTW, regarding this problem, there did not seem to be any difference at all between using wayland and using xorg. So that's doesn't seem to be the source of the problem. Anyway, thanks to David and NoobAlice for the hints! _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
