When you go to _Manage Libraries..._ and try to install a library that requires a lot of dependencies, e.g. _Adafruit's Sensor Lab_. A message window appears entitled _Dependencies for library Adafruit Sensor Lab:0.4.2_ with a message that states _The library __Adafruit Sensor Lab:0.4.2__ needs some other library dependencies currently not installed:_ and then lists the libraries you need to install. Normally you would just click _Install all_, _Install [blank] only_, or _Cancel_, but the problem is that the window is so big I can't see or click anything on the bottom. I can't even tab return to install it. A simple slide bar would fix this.
