But I can move the modal dialog only within the borders of the screen.
If the dialog is to large I have to move it beyond the top border of the
screen to reach the options/buttons at the bottom. This doesn't work
with the attached modal dialogs. So for now I will use the workaround
proposed by Marcel to adjust my settings (disable attached modal
dialogs). But of course this is just a workaround. In the long run there
should be a better solution to handle large modal dialogs, maybe just
shrink the dialog to the max screen size and add a slider to reach all
options/buttons.

cheers,
Björn
