Description Brian 2014-03-25 09:03:26 UTC
Actually v4.12.3, but that's not listed.
When changing display resolution (from 800x600 back to 1440x900), the selections are _almost_ off the screen - and there's no way to scroll the selections. So, if it were off the screen, there would be no way to change back (after changing to 800x600). And there's no more timeout dialog to confirm new settings, which would normally revert to the old settings - so you could seriously get stuck.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change from 1440x900 resolution to 800x600.
2. Attempt to change back to 1440x900.
3. The "1440x900" option is nearly off the screen, with no way to scroll it into view.
Actual Results:  
You can select the 1440x900 resolution, but it's almost out of view - so much so, that you can't really read the setting.

Expected Results:  
I expect to be able to scroll the available options - either the resolution options, or the entire screen where multiple displays are configured --- I've found this difficult as well... with multiple displays, I nearly had a situation where I could not configure a display or bring that display's resolution settings into view.

Yep, the resolution popup should be moved into the visible area of the screen.

The dialog has been replaced by a slider or combobox in the Plasma 5 KScreen KCM, so these problems won't happen again.
