I wasn't being combative.  I was trying to explain the difference, as  
I understand it, between transport and presentation.  To make my  
point, I tend to use a lot of emphasis (must be my teaching background).

Apologies if that was too direct of a response.  Unfortunately, as the  
time goes on, I have less and less time to devote to the project, so I  
find that being direct and clear in responses saves a lot of time on  
the back end.  It also is a more useful response to those who later  
view the ticket and might have the same issues.

So what I get out of this is that this is a UI issue.  I'm not  
convinced that any sort of action is necessary on our end.  Locally,  
you can always use CSS to size the window as you see fit.  Just  
remember that what you see on the screen is not necessarily what will  
be seen on the receiving end, so that should not be the focus of any  
UI change.
