Description: Dialog Properties is bigger then screen after adding new fields in bug 138792. The dialog is not resizeable/scrollable. I don't see bottom buttons. My resolution 1366x768, Screen 12.5". VCL GTK3. In VCL=GEN I see whole dialog on the screen. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open File > Properties Actual Results: Dialog Properties is bigger then screen. The dialog is not resizeable/scrollable to make it smaller. I can do dialog bigger, but not smaller. I don't see bottom buttons. Expected Results: Ability to click the buttons.

We request a minimum resolution of 1280x768px/WXGA, so the issue is relevant. One solution could be to organize the items in two columns, another to have a scrolled window behind (which makes it a bit difficult to size the dialog correctly for larger screens). Another solution might be to have the attributes as options (title, subtitle, keyword etc.) in a dropdown and just one input field for the respective value.
Can't reproduce on Windows builds, the dialogs open ~637px in height. Is this some facet of os/DE scaling in place?

Not an issue in Windows builds with WDM os/DE. Without excessive font scaling, the Properties dialog fits without issue additional fields and action buttons are visible in the ~637px dialog. But a scroll bar might be useful when the dialog is drag resized.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. The issue is only relevant on environments that use space extensively, namely gtk3. The problem could be solved by reducing the height of the comments box and we could also place some/all items in columns. sfx2/uiconfig/ui/descriptioninfopage.ui
