Bug#872662: audacity: 'Edit Metadata' Window is too large, 'Ok' button is not available anymore

[Josef Atmin]

Package: audacity
Version: 2.1.2-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have opened a .ogg file, have cut out some of it and wanted to export it to .ogg again.
In the process the 'Edit Metadata' window pops up.  However, because there is a lot of
meta data, it is so large that the 'ok' botton at the bottom is not visible anymore.  I
see the bottons 'Edit...' 'Reset...' 'Load...' 'Save...' 'Set Default ...' and three more
bottons above.  But from https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/file_export_dialog.html I
recon there must be an 'ok' button as well, but that disapears outside my screen, and I
have found no way to reduce the window size to get at this button.  It took me a while to
figure how to remove the window and proceed, but I have found no way to edit the
metadata.

It would be great if you could change this such that the window always fits on the screen
and if a lot of meta data has to be displayed a slider is used to scroll through the meta
data, the buttons always being accessible.

Thanks for this otherwise great program.

Best, Josef.
