205	Error dialogs go off bottom of screen	Tom Goddard	Eric Pettersen	"Error dialogs go off bottom of screen on small screens and the Ok button can't be reached and the dialog is modal so the program is basically hung.

A while back the tracebacks were truncated to make them fit on screen.  I think they just need to be truncated a bit more aggressively.

Elaine Meng has mentioned this problem several times, most recently in bug report #204 where she ends up killing ChimeraX because it becomes unusable.

There is a trick to escape the hung state -- just press Enter.  Even the the Ok button cannot be reached it is highlighted and pressing Enter presses Ok and dismisses the dialog."	defect	closed	major		Logging		fixed		meng@…				all	ChimeraX
