I use 800x600 on 17" CRT monitor.
Some Dialog boxes are too big for my monitor,
so I can't see some contents of dialog boxes.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set your monitor 800x600
2. Set your font setting of Windows to some large ones.
3. Add new card ( address book )


Actual Results:  The dialog box is bigger than what your monitor can display.


Expected Results:  Prefered result:

  The proper dialog box should be calculated and displayed as such.


Or.. how about using scroll bar for users to be able to scroll up and down to
view all options and buttons, while the dialog boxes has fixed size?

Dialogs can just call sizeToContent().  If they are not, then they have good 
reason not to.  In that case they should be defined with a low resolution in 
mind.  Marking duplicate of the bug about the new card dialog being poorly done.
