To me the QuickAccessDialog is a bit to small, lots of info is cut of at the end. I suggest we extend it a bit.

For my taste this looks wide enough to read/get what the commands mean. I wouldn't like it bigger. Note that the window remembers the size, i.e. you can make it bigger one time and then you're done.

I agree that if "resize and remember the size" would be sufficient. Currently resize is well hidden in the context menu. I discovered this in the source code, as such menu entries are not common, I did not expect them. And I assume if I don't expect that, other users will have the same issue. 

What about removing the menu and making the dialog resizable and remembering its size automatically?

You can just resize it with the mouse like any other window. By default it remembers the size. Not sure, what's hidden here. Does that not work on your system?

Screenshot with the menu

Are you looking at the dialog? I can't resize or move it without the menu selection from the new screenshot.

It works fine on Windows 7. Just tried on Linux and there I do get the resize handles but when I click, the dialog closes :-(.

I have RHEL 6.5.  I tried to resize the dialog and it worked for me.

Not really a duplicate of that old bug (which indeed made it bigger).
