It behaves normally for me.
Could you get that dialog up, and use xwininfo and xprop on it,
and send us the output ?
Both xwininfo and xprop can be launched from the command line.
They then ask you to click on the window to be examined. After
you do that, they'll print some data about that window. I'd like
to see the output of both commands when applied to the dialog
you describe - if at all possible without you resizing it.
Usually this type of problem is window manager related. I'm using
KDE. What's your window manager?
