TDE Window Decorations dialogue box resizing on 1366x768

Something that has been bugging me for a while but not sure if it just my hardware.

3 different laptops 1366x768 laptop screen 2 with Intel i915 and one old Nvidia/nouveau. All run TDE quite happily - but...

In TDE open Window Decorations in Control Centre and the dialogue box vertical space exceeds the bottom limit of the screen.
The only way to apply any changes is to shift the panel to the right or left so you can just access the top of the Apply/OK button.
Nothing allows you to resize the overall dialogue box - and I do mean nothing.

If you try using the Advanced tool to change the initial size, the size that shows in the box - which should be the current size - is 666,767 - which it isn't. Indeed no matter what size you try to set it, that is ignored too.

We can confirm this issue, the windows decorations dialog box has a minimal vertical size about 800px so it can't be shrunk vertically. You can use this trick to show windows contents https://www.q4os.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3791

We would guess it's not native Q4OS but Trinity upstream issue, however we will make some more investigation about it.

Can confirm, running TDE on 1366x768.
I set the window size of some tde app to like 3600x200 for testing out multiscreen support via "advanced window settings". Removed the settings later but window size is fixed to 3600x200 even though it shows 300 or something in advanced window settings..

You can just about do it with the Alt+Titlebar provided you have first shrunk the panel to 38 pixels.
