Hello,
I use scrivener on my netbook (Acer Aspire One) with ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I recognized some issues which I wanted to complain about, erm I mean get recognized.
-Dictionary download doesn’t work:
Multiple error messages finished by a failure message prevent me from downloading the german dictionary for spellchecking
These were the messages:
Could not open de_CH-only.rws for writing: de_CH-only.rws
Could not open de_DE-only.rws for writing: de_DE-only.rws
Could not open de_CH.multi for writing: de_CH.multi
Could not open de-only.rws for writing: de-only.rws
Could not open de_DE.multi for writing: de_DE.multi
Could not open de.multi for writing: de.multi
Dictionary download failed.
-Small warnings and error windows are too small:
The error messages are not readable as the pop-up windows are scaled too small in comparison to the whole screen and there is no way to adjust them.

-All additional pop-up windows are too large in height:
the bottom buttons are cut off, you can push the window further up but you can’t adjust the total height which should be possible

-compile has some bugs it seems:
compiling as rtf/doc type file creates a negative margin on the right side, which is only present of the very first page though
could certainly be because of some missed setting, though I doubt it
-opening the manual via the new option crashes KNetAttach:

-Character map window doesn’t open
-splitting the window horizontally disturbs fullview, works only in windowed view:

as windowed it works, though the bottom is still cut off and window height can’t be decreased further: http://i.imgur.com/rf6G3nF.png
-Bibliography/Citations doesn’t open
-Scratchpad window is in fixed position and overlaying everything else:

I really like the program, but it seems to still need a lot of polish to work properly on linux (and netbooks). If this is the wrong place for bugreports pls move the thread to the appropriate section.
greetings
