Description:
With a screensize of 1024x600, the main window doesn't fit the screen and consequently, some options are not usable...
This could be possibly solved by having the several containers (maybe just the center one and any containers inside that would do) being scrollable. and not forcing a screensize bigger than 800x600. I realize that with a big screen it is easier to work, but with the world facing towards netbooks, this problem is becoming more important over time.

How to repeat:
Open the application on a device with a small screen (1024x600 for example)

I think this is a reasonable feature request: WB should have a default layout "optimized" for 800x600 screen resolution.

Since it has no version attached to it, I thought i'd mention this still happens with 5.2.2alpha. It is rather annoying, and what looks like a reasonably well-designed app now is rather unusable :(
I'm on a netbook with ubuntu as well.

I see the target version is WB60, but the problem actualy got slightly worse with 5.2.10. Should we just expect a fix on version 6.0 or is there any hope of getting it on 5.2?

Could I add (as a proxy) a "me too" on this please.

A friend of mine who I recommended WB to uses a netbook.  He has just demonstrated this bug to me - same 1024×600 resolution as mentioned before.

Same is true for Windows7. If the screen is too small (e.g. laptop or running in virtual box) the window is too small.
I consider this a bug! At least the window must offer scroll bars to access all buttons and fields.
But there are no scroll bars.

Netbook resolutions are not supported.
