Description:
I use MySQLWorkbench to demonstrate in class. The projector has a low resolution to make things viewable to the class. At a low resolution, most of MySQLWorkbench is usable EXCEPT the Apply SQL Script to Database dialogue is too big for 800x600 resolution, as the Apply button cannot be seen. The problem is that this diaglogue box wont resize to a smaller Y size to allow the Apply button to be viewable

How to repeat:
Set resolution low. Create a table, apply changes to database.

Suggested fix:
Make the minimum Y size of the window have a smaller value.

MySQL Workbench requires at least 1280x1024 pixels resolution, better is 1080p/i, as documented here: http://www.mysql.com/support/supportedplatforms/workbench.html

Let me clearer on the setting here - I'm showing MySQL in a large lecture theatre to 200+ students. I realise that 800x600 is very low these days, but choosing higher resolutions would be illegible at the back of the lecture theatre. 

This dialog box seems unnecessarily large (see screenshot attachment) - my proposition was simply to reduce its height so the buttons are viewable at 600 height.
