Description susssu 2013-07-11 18:30:28 UTC

I'm using a laptop (screen resolution 1366 x 768)  to paint in Krita and when creating a new document I can't see the Create button.  So to push it I need to use Workspace Switcher and go to the workspace below (like this: http://cs322129.vk.me/v322129652/29f9/iisStuj6eAY.jpg ). At the same time there is plenty of unused space under the Description menu and we can't make the window shorter. At least I can't.
So if possible, please, make the New document window smaller or at least resizable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a small laptop
2. Try to make a new document
3. Search for create button (:
Actual Results:  
"Create" button is off screen

Expected Results:  
"Create" button should be visible.

The problem is actually the Create From Clipboard page that makes the window too high. And Ubuntu, which defines a rather large font, making all the controls largish.

After modifying the clipboard page layout a bit, this is the smallest I can make Krita's startup screen.

Rearrange image-from-clipboard page

So it doesn't take so much space.

I had the same problem and found this thread.  I looked at the screenshot of the window switcher and noticed that the C in "Create" was underlined.  So, pressing alt + c solved the problem for me.
