Screenshot displaying wrongly placed dialog

Version:           1.7 (using KDE 4.7.4) 
OS:                Linux

For files with long metadata lists (i.e. gettext's PO files) file replace dialog can get so tall, that bottom part of dialog goes below panel or even outside of screen. As result to press any of buttons, dialog has to be dragged manually upwards. Screen height provides enough space to render complete dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Use an lapotop with limited screen height (900px in my case);
Create a two folders with identical PO files;
Copy/move PO files to other folder.

Actual Results:  
Observe how for every replacement action You have to move "file replace" dialog to access buttons.

Expected Results:  
File replace dialog should be positioned in a way to be completely on the usable screen space.

Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719

Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45, as metadata is no longer shown in the overwrite dialog.
