Before the fix there are 2 problems that I see.
1. The Ok Cancel buttons are off the screen at the bottom.
2. If your task bar is at the top of your screen (instead of the default
bottom) the "X" to close the window is also not visible. Because it is not
visible, you cannot "move" the window to get access to it.
ALT-Space-M(ove) does not work since we are in an single line edit box
waiting for user input. To the ALT-Space-M goes into the user input. The
Escape button (on Windows) closes the dialog.
The dialog box does have a scroll bar, so the N entries in the window will
scroll so they can still see and read what is within the dialog.
