I am running the 3.6 Beta release on windows and have reverted back to factory defaults.
Assuming this also means all the dialogs shown on my system are using the default height/width.
I am very keen on using the new vertical justification functionality and noticed a minor UI dialog issue.
In the screenshot I have marked to location where the text is (partial) hidden. Perhaps the default height for this dialog needs to be increased slightly with the new options added?
Fix version
3.6.0

Confirmed. It can even get sized so that this last option isn't shown at all.
Workaround is to increase the dialog slighly
Even worse on the Score tab, where a whole section about auto placement gets hidden
In reply to Even worse on the Score tab by Jojo-Schmitz
Indeed manual changing the dialog is an easy workaround.....but I wonder how many people will realize they can do that and as you high lighted the score settings...I did not even realize settings are missing from the view as it is not visually clear that an option is missing.
that's why I made it Major
Strange issue! I'm looking into it now.
I've found a solution! Don't ask what the problem was exactly; it was something with a wrong size policy on a completely unrelated widget in a different page... but I don't even remember.
But, the height of the whole dialog has increased a good bit, to ca. 770 px for me... That could cause problems on smaller screens. I think I will wrap the taller pages in a scroll area.
I beliebe that 'wrong' size pilicy had been placed there on purpose, to force the dialog smaller
Worst offender height-wise is Format > Style > Score, followed by Format > Style > Page
On Format > Style > Score that "Indent first system" could get moved to Format > Style > System. IIRC that had been discussed on Telegram some days or weeks ago.
On Format > Style > Page those last 5 items could be in 2 columns, would save 2 lines.
Those 2 changes should be enough to the the dialog back to the current size without hiding anything

And make sure it will also work on smaller screens by using a Scroll Area for the most critical pages._
