Description:
the text is not all shown.  for instance, under the "Service Control" tab thingy,  the third line of the text under Server Status is cut off.  i beleive that this is because on my windows box, i have increased the size of the font via <right-click> desktop -> properties -> settings tab -> advanced button -> select "Large size (120DPI)" for "DPI setting" dropdown box.

note the same issue occurs on the query analzer tool.

How to repeat:
change the DPI setting on your windows box <right-click> desktop -> properties -> settings tab -> advanced button -> select "Large size (120DPI)" for "DPI setting" dropdown box.

Suggested fix:
when creating the gui screen, consider that the text size might be larger or smaller than normal.

This is a general problem with Administrator in that it does not always add scrollbars when 
needed.

I verified this on windows 2000, SMP using 1.0.13.

Changing your font size isn't even really necessary.  Just shrink the size of the window until
you cannot see all the text.  The window should be repainted with needed scroll bars at that
point.

You can choose the application's font and fontsize in the options dialog. If the text gets truncated, simply choose a smaller font. This should solve the issue.
