--- Comment #3 from Alex Thurgood <ipla...@tuta.io> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > Dialogs are non-resizable by design.

Unfortunately, this behaviour isn't consistent across the UI. For example, when comparing a Calc document, the changes dialog *is* resizable, and IMHO, it is good that it is, as trying to resize columns to get everything to fit in a preconstrained space, or else using the horizontal scroller is a PITA, especially, as in the case of the current dialog, if you move to right to see the users rights and permissions with the horizontal scrollbar, you lose sight of the table for which you are consulting/adjusting the permissions. That is not a user friendly experience at all, especially when you might have 50 or so tables with only slight variations in the table name (as is frequent in real world applications). I'm also not a big fan of simplifying down to the icon level only because this is highly dependent on how people see, visualise and understand graphical representations. I suppose having a menu button might be one way to simplify things, but I'm always concerned that the user of the interface ends up making more mouse movements than before, and would that really simplify things for keyboard only users as well? If I want to navigate that dialog with the keyboard, I can tab key through the buttons in sequence to get to where I want to and press enter on the highlighted key (or other UI component) to execute. If we add an "Action" button with a dropdown menu, then not only do I have to tab to the button, I then also have to key down (or up assuming both directions are allowed) to select the action I want to execute leading to the opening of the follow-on dialog. Honestly, I don't know what's best here, and it still doesn't solve the issue of the horizontal scrolling / absence of resizable dialog. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
