I installed it and my observations are different than yours:
* I am able to resize the window both horizontally and vertically to be larger
than minimal
* kbibtex - sets min window size: 545x751 (WxH) - you cannot make it smaller,
but you can make it bigger.

This is in line with long standing KDE min vertical screen size requirement
800px.

If your screen is smaller, and you cannot see the bottom of kbibtex window - I
suggest to run you kbibtex in a vnc session with bigger window size. Example:
vncserver -geometry 1920x1080
vncviewer :1 &

When you are done with vnc - do not forget to: vncserver -kill :1
Follow your distro documentation on how to configure vnc

The resulting vncviewer window should be scroll-able. If this is the first time
you use vnc - you will be asked to create vncpassword .... You can tune the
vncserver geometry to minimize scrolling for your screen.

Again, do not forget to kill the vncserver before reboot - otherwise your
session nomber will keep going up and you will need to chase down the session
files (in /tmp/) and clean them up eventually.

Best luck,
Tomas
