2. Click on picture

Too small of a window

Not a bug, so much as a choice to not do it. Because so many more sites abuse
being able to resize windows than use it properly, 1.5 is going to ship with the
"Allow scripts to: Move or resize existing windows" option unchecked. If you
find yourself on more good sites than bad, you can always check it yourself (in
Options/Content, the Advanced button by Enable JavaScript).

Sorry about that, I didn't know there was that option though I do agree that
many sites abuse the ability. Good luck on 1.5

No need to be sorry about it, you persuaded me that it's worth filing a
"reconsider this" bug, before too many other people have to find out by filing
their own bugs.
