Summary0017111: Glitchy appearance in Options and AddonInstall dialogs
Description1. The scrollable left panel in options dialog has a large border at the bottom
This is fixed by moving the Ok/Cancel buttons' container into the right panel, allowing the scrollable left panel to be full height.
2. The info section of the addon installation screen is not scrollable, causing glitches when the dialog is not large enough.
This is fixed simply by making the info section scrollable.
Additional InformationTweaked files with fix are attached.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2275

1) Currently both (left/right) panels are scrollable:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2fggi9o7qctowts/screenshot%202020-11-19%2011.18.29.png?dl=0
so I don't see an issue here.
With your change the left panel would snap the bottom edge:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yo5o3i5sdganeno/screenshot%202020-11-19%2011.23.30.png?dl=0

This would indicate that by pressing [OK] the user is confirming changes just on the selected panel (and not the all changed panels).
So I am not keen changing this.

2) Goog point, fixed in 2275

1) I agree with Ludek (Reopen if needed after further consultation)

2) Much better. Good Catch

1- I don't really agree with that reasoning. From the user's point of view, the apparent "border" underneath the left panel doesn't look like it has anything to do with the OK/Cancel buttons. It just looks like a glitch. If there was a border around both panels, and the OK/Cancel buttons were outside that border, it would be a different story; but there is currently no strong indication to the user that the buttons confirm changes on all panels. I think that it's common sense for the user to expect all changes to be saved.

2- Thanks!

1. As talked offline, Current design comply with general modal Dialog design and comply with current design of MM4 options dialog (which shows more clear why it is used the way it is used). Feel free to open new bug/suggestions to UI design in order to make things more clear in future native skins, but it as we agreed it can be easily added by any skinner to their skins without framework change on their designs to use dialog space more efficiently.

Closing, as 2. is verified and 1. if needed as it more cosmetic issue than functionality bug should be filed separate.
