Brief Summary

In German language, the dialog for creating new database is not wide enough by default to show the input forms for the database-password. It is necessary to manually resize the window, which is a working work-around, but is a bit unpleasent.

The error seems to occur consistently on Windows systems - I didn't check on different plattforms.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Change the language to German, other languages may have the same problem
  2. Open the create a new database dialog ("Neue Datenbank...")
  3. Click "Weiter" up to the password dialog

Expected Versus Actual Behavior

It is expected to work as in the English original:

In German, the window looks like this:

Im pretty sure you can manually resize that window.

Yes, you can resize it, manually. Therefore, this may not be of high priority. Since most users may create a database only once. Nonetheless, it is a bit annoying and may throw some users off at first.
