Build ID: 1999080208
Platform: Linux and NT (and Mac OS, likely)

To reproduce:
- Launch apprunner
- Select View | Character Set

Result: The menu scrolls off of the bottom of the screen; on a 800x600 display,
this means that the menu is too long to select commonly used character sets such
as Cyrillic or Japanese. This is a big problem.
Target Milestone: M11
Assignee: trudelle → hyatt
Not MacOS so far, and the problem is that it _doesn't_ scroll or otherwise
provide access to the menu items that don't fit on the screen. I don't have a
feel for how important this is, pre-beta.  Is any development work being held
up?  BTW, if these character sets are so commonly used, why are they at the
bottom of a long menu? Could we reconfigure this menu, perhaps to use sub-menus,
at least temporarily?

Yes, this is a bug, but I'm compelled to point out that the charset menu sucks
and should be fixed.  It's ridiculous how big that menu is.
Depends on: 1877
I need the screen object implemented for this.  Dependent on bug 1877.
Are you saying the screen object is not returning numbers? Because last I check
it was returing proper numbers ( at least on windows, I haven't checked the GTK
or Mac versions although those bugs were marked "fixed" ). The Avail routines are
a bit optimistic about the size of the available screen real estate but that
shouldn't be blocking you.
Ah.  Vidur made a post on layout that made me think this wasn't implemented...
so i can more or less get the screen resolution?
