- Giant Dialog Box

The dialog is about 3.5 times the width of my screen, which is 1900. That makes the box about 6720 pixels wide. That number is not ringing any bells as regards to any digital assumptions such as an overflow.
If I drag dialog to the upper corner to tile the screen, the dialog box resizes to 1/4 of the screen as expected.

I cancel out of that dialog box and create a new file using the File => New menu, the dialog is fine.

This effect was happening when I was running the display using the Nouveau drivers for my Nvidia card so I suspected a graphics issue. I installed the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and the problem persists.

This is not a huge issue since there is a simple workaround. But it looks like a bug that is probably in the Scribus code.
