RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
If you have a window with a minimal defined size that is higher than vertical resolution of your screen, then some parts of it cannot be accessed (typically ok/cancel buttons).
Not sure against whether to report this against gnome-shell, gtk3 or wireshark, but I can at least move the window out of screen the way I want to in gnome 2.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.8.4-2
wireshark-gnome-1.10.0-2
Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you have a window that has a certain minimal size (such as Wireshark's Capture Options [Ctrl+K]) that is larger than your vertical resolution (e.g 768 pixels on a x230)
2. Try to somehow get the lower part of the window (usually contains all the buttons)
Actual results:
The window can't be resized to fit, it can't be moved as gnome-shell stops it on the upper edge.
Expected results:
allowing windows to be moved partially out of bounds of gnome-shell if they can't fit anyway. Or a more awesome solution would be to force a scroll area on windows that have none and don't fit.

As far as I remember, the only difference from GNOME 2 is that the "mouse button modifier" (e.g. the key you need to press to move/resize the window instead of letting the application process the click event) has been changed from <alt> to <super>. Alternatively, <alt>F7 works here as well (as it did in GNOME 2).
