Description

Checks

  • [x ] I confirm I have restarted NotePlan and this problem still persists.
  • [X ] I confirm I have reinstalled the Plugin and this problem still persists.
  • [X ] Is this a repeatable problem?

System

  • Device OS:MacOS 15.6.1
  • NotePlan Version: 3.18.1 build (1419)
  • Plugin Name & Version: Dashboard 2.2.1

Describe the bug
When you are in the Dashboard and you make any changes to the current perspective, it will prompt you to save and switch. This works correctly, but the dialog window does not show in its entirety. I have put the screenshots below. I have texted it on small and large Noteplan font settings.

What do you expect it to do instead?
I would expect it to show the entire dialog box.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to the dashbaord
  2. Make a change to any dashboard setting
  3. Try to change the perspective to another perspective
  4. This spaws the dialog box

Screenshots

Plugin Console Log
To provide us with more clues about where the bug/error is occurring...

  1. Open the Plugin's Preferences by going to NotePlan's menu > Preferences > Plugins and clicking the settings "cog" icon next to the plugin in question. Scroll to the bottom and set the logging level to "DEBUG" and click "Save & Close"
  2. Now open the Plugin Console by going to Noteplan > Help > Plugin Console (not the macOS Console app).
  3. Run the plugin command you're reporting
  4. Copy the output from the Plugin Console and paste it below
  5. Delete any output that has personal information you don't want in there

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the Dashboard plugin by changing a dashboard setting and switching perspectives, using the reported NotePlan and plugin versions and checking both font sizes. Inspect the Dashboard perspective-switch dialog rendering; done means the entire save-and-switch dialog is visible in both cases.
