Basically, the short term "fix" would be to change it back to 4 and
whoever has a small window needs to set the font to something smaller if
he wants to use this. With your current "fix", it's unusable for almost
everyone.

The proper fix would propably be what you propose: Make the portocol
preference gui add scrollbars on demand.

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
