Thank you for the report, including the sceenshots (would have been better to show the same screen, but the point is made): although the group list has a scroll bar, the essential thing is that the two bottom right buttons CANCEL & OK are out of sight. And the window cannot be resized smaller vertically. This is a too common problem (fixed height windows, or windows which overflow the screen bottom), and one inconvenient way round which sometimes works - it does here for UserDrake on Xfce - is to use Alt and drag the window upwards until you see the bottom. What desktop are you using? I suspect that desktop/window manager are possibly responsible, which seem not to take into account top & bottom taskbars when placing application windows. How much is due to the application? CC'ing Jani about this aspect. CC:

I using Plasma with liquidshell but the issue is also in regular Plasma (X11) The Alt button not works i have to right click on window's title bar -> More actions -> Move to get the desired effect (In reply to katnatek from comment #2) > The Alt button not works i have to right click on window's title bar -> More > actions -> Move to get the desired effect Useful tip, thanks; I had forgotten it. It works in other situations; but once you have moved the window title bar out of sight at the top - how do you move the window back down afterwards? Assigning to maintainers of this package.

Usually i make the change(s) i want and click on Accept so i back to main window You make me search and i found that in plasma instead of Alt by default you most press "Meta" aka "windows key" + right click to do the same of course is possible to change for Alt in System settings -> Windows manager? (i am in spanish system) The Plasma solution is fine. Some applications - notably Gimp - use the Alt key. CC:
