:031: Kind of annoying heh! The problem is a developer that is not concerned with allowing actual OS WMs to handle parts of the application's display. It's actually a dialogue window and not an XFCE window. Also don't feel left out because the same issue occurs with Windows 10. Dialogue windows with continue/next and/or cancel/quit buttons usually accept (cr) "Enter" for continue/next and "ESC" or "Control +C" for cancel/quit so you can just use the keys thus the lack of concern from devs. Some of these dialogue windows can be dragged upward with the mouse by holding down the (Windows) "Super" key while dragging. Lots of annoying solutions like rotating the screen, or hiding the bottom panel, or moving the bottom panel to the left or right screen side. Don't know why devs feel it's necessary to use such a big dialogue window in this case but I doubt it'll ever be fixed.

Thanks Trinidad. Rotating screen sideways did reveal the dialog box. Everything else failed, so I'm happy that this solution worked out.
