On the "Name and Password" panel of the New Messenger Account Wizard, the text
"Click next to continue entering information" appears at the lower left of the
main pane of the wizard window, obscuring the label for the "Password" text
box. The same text appears on every panel (including the last, where it
does not belong if this wizard is not immediately follwed by another -
can happen if skipped at profile setup time) in the same location.

It could potentially go down beside the [Back] and [Next] buttons
(there's room) but if not the vertical spacing inside the main pane of this
panel needs attention.

oy. This window probably needs to be bigger or something... should be easy.
Summary: Wizard: Text label obscured by edge of window → [PP]Wizard: Text label obscured by edge of window
NT4, 11/12 build: The reported problem occurs.

Linux, 11/12 build: It does not occur.
Mac, 11/11 build: It does not occur.
Bigger dialog perhaps, or, if not that, there is more than enough "white space"
above <B>Password Storage</B> in proportion to the tight spacing everywhere
else to make room.

It appears that this bug is no longer a problem for the simple reason that
the text "Click next to continue entering information" no longer appears on
each panel of the wizard. No panel contents are overwritten; there is almost
too much extra space at the bottom of each panel using small fonts on WinNT
-- although, if the buttons were moved up a bit, it wouldn't be so notable.

The [Cancel], [Back], [Next], and [Finish] buttons are all partially cut off at 
the bottom of the window (as are buttons on the alert dialogs if information is 
not entered before [Next] is clicked), but that is a separate problem;
assuming that it is known -- or has this bug morphed to cover that problem?

Otherwise, this looks like a WORKSFORME.
Thank you for your input. Marking Worksforme.

The problem with the buttons in the Account Wizard being partially cut-off is 
logged in bug# 34124. It appears to be a general problem not specific to the 
Account Wizard.
