Hi All, My first post here!
Today I installed Linux Mint 19.1 Xfce 32-bit on my very old Aspire One D255 netbook. This is a tiny laptop with a maximum resolution of 1024x600. Everything works as far as I can tell except for an annoying window re-sizing issue of the Select Snapshot Screen. I'm not able to see the buttons to continue. I have tried the various ALT + Function Key options I've read on these forums but it seems this window is not resizeable. Not sure if this is a known issue. I would like to do the snapshot but tabbing and pressing enter does not seem to work.

It's a known issue that arises when you install Mint, as you did, on a device that does not meet the recommended screen size specifications for Mint. The commonly advised workaround is to press and hold the ALT key, which allows you to grab and move any window including this one.

It can be made bigger, but not smaller. The developer has hardcoded a minimum size so that content in the subsequent settings windows will fit without random resizing events as you run through the wizard.
Moem's solution is the general one for windows with a minimum size bigger than your screen resolution - you'll come across this issue again no doubt with other applications.

Understood. On the plus side, this little laptop is very responsive with LM. Thanks a lot guys, I appreciate you getting back to me.
