Re: window resizing

["Tijmen Ruizendaal" <tijmen ruizendaal gmail com>]

On a usability note, wouldn't it be very anoying if the 'next' button
moves from place, because the window is auto resizing everytime?

This is not a solution ofcourse, but this was the first thing which
came to my mind. Maybe add a key shortcut as well?

Bye,
