[tex-live] Inaccessible checkboxes of TL installer on small screens

[Andreï | Андрей Викторович]

Dear Norbert,

Thank you very much for your advice! In Cinnamon (LMDE), the Alt window
behaviour modifier is enabled by default without any additional tricks with
settings. It is true that Alt + Click + Drag allows one to move the window
outside (even with that screen-edge-resize-extra-behaviour-feature-whatever
enabled). However, this was quite a revelation for me, and I am not quite
sure that other users share this knowledge. Still, it would be great if the
GUI windows relied on the information about the detected screen height,
just like the main window does with diligence (or by chance? or by
default?).

Again, thanks a lot for any adjustments you are about to make!
