Trouble resizing windows in Manjaro

Good day. Normally, when I resize a window, it follows what I say, however, there are applications that doesn’t seem to decrease its height when resized. Yes only the height and not the width. For example, VirtualBox’s Import Appliance tool. What should I do with this?

Hello,

Is simple, some applications have their dialog windows predefined in size limit, by design, hence you can’t resize beyond or bellow that. Unless you are in good relation with the developers of those particular applications, and ask them to change that, there is nothing you con do, nor anybody else.
