    I just installed N7 (after uninstalling N4.77), and notice that the pop-up window for EDIT/Preferences pulldown isn't large enough to display all of the screen's text (for some options, such as the screen for NAVIGATOR), so I can't get to some of the options that are on the far right/bottom of the screen. there's not option to maximize that pop-up/pulldown window, nor to scroll right/down.

    Any way around this?

    Temporary change your sceen font size.
    (Control panel, exact location varies across Windows versions)

    You might also want to adjust DPI settings in Display Properties | Settings | Advneced | General | Screen DPI setting.

    I recommend exit Netscape before change screen settings. Change it back afterwards.

    I've experimented with various N7 "themes ", both the 2 Netscape-provided themes for N7, and some others like "skypilot ", and also some themes from DESKMOD.com.

    Seems that all those that I tried were unable to show the full screen for NAVIGATOR in EDIT/PREFERENCES -- except, that is, for the "wood" theme from DESKMOD.com, which seems to use far smaller icon/toolbar fonts than other themes, plus provides a larger pop-up window for the PREFERENCES pulldown.

    Thanks for your suggestion about globally changing the font size, but until I get used to N7, I'll be accessing PREFERENCES options often .... So, despite the fact that I'm not really keen on the "wood" theme from DESKMOD, I'm using it till I decide I'm no longer pulling down the PREFERENCES screens that much anymore ....

    BTW, I've also had a similar problem with prior versions of IE, which was one of the reasons I went back to NS. Instead of the issue being with the PREF pulldowns, I would get regular popup windows (for downloads or setup choices, for instance) that would bleed off the right/bottom of the window, often not showing me the "yes "/ "no" bottom at the bottom - not very helpful!
