I have an ibook, and the preferences panel that opens on its 800x600 screen is
unable to show all the settings on some of the panels.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Open the preferences panel on an 800x600 screen.

Actual Results:  Some of the preferences are hidden.

Expected Results:  I should be able to resize the preferences panel or have a
scroll bar to view and set all preferences.

I did not submit this bug report from my mac.

The resolution on my PC with Windows is 800x600 and I can easily view all the 
preferences. Is this a problem with Mac? I wouldn't think so...

-> Preferences due to usability issues in this window.

It may be an interaction between screen size and font size then. I've dug up
more details. The font I am using is Times 16 pt at 96 dpi. When I go into the
"Smart Browsing" section of the preferences panel, the bottom of the panel (the
internet keywords button) slides beyond the lower extent of the preferences panel.

This is not a ppi issue.

The dialog is 500px high. Confirming.

sunil, the prefs dialog on mac is now resizeable with recent builds. does 
resizing help? if so, i'll mark this wfm...

Recent builds have fixed the problems I had experienced. The entire prefs panel
(even without resizing) is now visible.
