After compiling MTFM in a virtual machine, I started the program. It came up in the virtual console and looked OK.
Then I clicked on Settings / Preferences. The screen was only set to 1024x768. The main window fit OK, but the Preferences box overflowed by quite a bit, and there is no way to scroll it.
Even with the screen height set to 960, it still overflows so much that I cannot see the ACCEPT button. The only way to change preferences was to go to another computer and reverse engineer the tab order so that I could use the enter key to save preferences.
I remembered that I had used MTFM on a Windows laptop with a ??? x 768 pixel screen, and it fit OK, so I got out the screen rulers. Size are give or take a couple of pixels.
CentOS 8: 609x978
Windows 10: 452x690
The laptop I was using for my Linux use of MTFM has a full-HD screen, so I had not noticed the issue earlier.

Thanks for letting me know. I think it is time that I start using tabs to reduce the number of entries on a given dialog, I was kind of pushing my luck lately by just adding new entries an allowing the dialog to grow without bound.

Version 0.7.30 now has a tabbed Preferences dialog, and measures only 500-and-something pixels in height at the moment. I can still tune it --- let me know if this works better.
