Should it even be resizable at all? Martin, do you know what is expected here and what our options are at the widget level?

The dialog can be created as non-resizable (we may need to pass that info at the widget level) but I don't think this is actually a bug.

If the window does not have eBorderStyle_resizeh style set [1] widget code should respect it and create non-resizable dialog then.

My understand is that we do expect this dialog to be resizeable on Ubuntu, and given that, we can't clamp the size to the the current browser window. So I don't think there is anything to fix here.
