The Dutch text to inform the user in the Score Migration Dialog that layout changes migth occur when applying the new style needs two lines. Because of this the height of the dailog is just not enough to display all information correct when migration a v2 score (as this contains an extra option to select).

Not just when using translated text; it's the same for US English. Worse, actually - you can't see the button at all in some cases.

Seems to me we shouldn't be resorting to manual dimensions for dialogs. Qt is surely smart enough to auto size them?

There too are 2 line breaks. These don't happen on my PC with the original English text though. Might be a matter of screen size, DPI, on top of the issue with translations that need longer strings?

And for German too. Even with 1.x scores, although then the buttons look a bit squeezed to the bottom.
I'd prefer though to increase the dialogs width rather than the height
