Description

## Prerequisites
- [ ] I have searched open and closed issues for duplicates.
I searched for "save file dialog too large", no results for any open issues.

## Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
I tried to save a file, a save file dialog was opened, but the bottom of window is cut off by the screen, and I can't choose the file name or see the labels on the buttons.

I didn't see a "close" button on the window, not sure if it was cut off as well, but I had difficulty closing the save file dialog window as well.

If applicable, add screenshots or screen recordings to help explain your problem.
