I wish to change the size of pop-up windows, as I cannot see the lower part, but as soon as I try to drag them to make them smaller the window hides and the program freezes.

What window exactly? Preferences? Of so see #306644: Preferences window doesn't match on a 15'' Laptop screen and height isn't resizeable

Thanks for your response! I am using a 14 inch screen. I checked that post and while the user Spire42 seems to have achieved something that looks nice I have no idea how to do this in Windows. I have tried changing the font to something smaller without any success.
I am guessing hte dialog somehow got moved offscreen or hidden behind the main window. It may still have keyboard focus. Does Esc return you to normal (ei.e., by closing the dialog)?

Esc does indeed take me back! Thank you very much. Although I still don't know how to resize the pop-ups.
How are you trying now? And what is your screen resolution? What OS are you on? Some version of Windows, I guess? It normally should work to simply drag the edges, but on some OS's, there can be additional ways to resize windows using shortcuts.

I've just been trying by dragging it, and the issue with it moving to the background happens (and it "stays" in the background if I try to open "Preferences" again). I'm working on Windows 10 with a 1920x1080 resolution.
