Library Manager dependencies dialog unusable when there are many dependencies

When you go to Manage Libraries... and try to install a library that requires a lot of dependencies, e.g. Adafruit's Sensor Lab. A message window appears entitled Dependencies for library Adafruit Sensor Lab:0.4.2 with a message that states The library Adafruit Sensor Lab:0.4.2 needs some other library dependencies currently not installed: and then lists the libraries you need to install. Normally you would just click Install all, Install [blank] only, or Cancel, but the problem is that the window is so big I can't see or click anything on the bottom. I can't even tab return to install it. A simple slide bar would fix this.

Arduino IDE: v1.8.13 OS: macOS Catalina: v10.15.6 Screen resolution: 1440 x 900

Hello. I still encounter this issue on Arduino IDE 1.8.19 / Monterey 12.3 Same as @jisforjt , except I can't tab my way out of the Dependencies window.

@cmaglie Why has this problem not been solved after two years? 😖
