Looks to be phenomenon when large UI font is chosen by user.
See Desktop property of MS Win XP, and check Design/Font Size choice.
Can changing to "Standard" be a workaround? (after change, cancel dialog, then re-open dialog)

I could observe similar phenomenon like this bug and Bug 344247("Local Folders" case) on Win-XP by choosing larger UI font size than "Standard", although slightly different phenomenon - "window title bar" went above top of physical screen then unable to access top part and unable to move window.
Sorry but I don't know exact point size for "Standard"/"Large"/"Largest(?)".
By the way, "See ..." is not for you, for similar bugs. Please don't feel bad.

JFY. Bug 273216 is probably oldest bug report on Mac OS X.

I checked, and I already have "Font Size" set to "Normal" on the "Display Properties" Control Panel, "Appearance" tab.. But I also changed the some individual font sizes by clicking on the Advanced button. Those font sizes are what I mentioned in Comment 0.

"Message box: Tahoma, 11 pt" looks to be key setting, and 9pt seems to be default when Normal. Can setting to 9pt be a workaround?
(I changed to 15pt to test, then I can not change back to initial status...)

I tried Message Box: Tahoma, 10 pt, and was able to view the whole dialog. So, yes, that is a workaround. But it affects all my software, and I would prefer to use 11 pt.

> I would prefer to use 11 pt.
Because very tall panels are limited to several ones only("Server Settings" and a few), you can continue to use 11pt you prefer. Watch Bug 273216, and please recall the workaround when you will met the problem again in future.

nikolay - do you consider this to be WFM?

2.0.0.21 Extra large font settings, can't reach OK button. But I doubt if this is problem of TB itself.
