Conversion window to long to push button to convert

Hello,
After I edit the metadata of a e-book and then try to convert the format, the entire conversion screen itself is to tall for my laptop screen now. In other words, the button for me to push to activate the conversion is not available to me and I don't have a slider to move the screen up or down available to me. I have been using Calibre for several months and have not had this problem previously.
Two things have changed in the past week. I just bought a new laptop and I am using a different Calibre version. The HP laptop ran the 5.5 version and was a 1920 X 1080 and the new Dell laptop is the current version and 3140 X 2160. I include the resolution only because I am trying to show what is different. Minimizing or maximizing the screen makes no difference.
I have not had this issue with anything else on my new laptop so maybe its a option that I am missing with the new version. I have attached a screen shot and the red lines represent the physical top and bottom of my screen.
Anyhow, if anyone has a suggestion, I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
Carey

that window is freely resizable, simply resize it as needed.

You might want to take a look in Display Settings at the Change size of text, apps and other items. Try reducing the number there by 25% and see if that still leaves your laptop screen easily viewable. My laptop came out of the box with 250% in that box. I know it was to make the icons, text, etc. larger but still a PITA.
