Seems windows dynamically resizes stuff to fit the content but Linux requires that you dictate it so just add the flag for height to the frameLayout command in the js_matchObjUi to something useful we found -h 120 for the $fl1 and -h 200 worked well for all the others. You won't be able to collapse the tabs but the script now works fine. [solved]

Same problem here to the letter. I thought about hacking things and building a tabless interface but the prospects upon opening the two scripts seems a little daunting. For what it's worth I'm running 9.04 ubuntu. I'm thinking it's a motif problem. I've had issues with custom UI's in general. But I'm a bit of a linux noob. If I manage something useable I'll drop a line. Hi. Same problem here to the letter.
