OK, I guess you are using the Scheduled Transaction Editor, which is a busy
window with a lot of stuff that cannot be scrolled away. I guess you can try
using a smaller font -- if the code is computing the minimum window size based
on fitting all of the "text" elements, a smaller font size will yield a
smaller minimum window size.
