    What do you do with an oversized dialog box that is too large to fit on the screen, such as the VirtualBox Settings dialog? With that dialog it's too tall and you can't see the buttons.

    I've tried moving it upwards but it won't.

    Try holding ALT with left click drag and drop to reposition the 'window'.
    A great and very useful Linux feature, especially on devices with smaller screens!

    I have the same problem, but in Windows. I tried the ALT trick as that's what I did on my EeePC, but it doesn't work in Windows. Is there another option for moving oversized dialog boxes up and down in Windows. Thanks.
