If you are using Google Chrome browser then you must have noticed that when you start Google Chrome, many chrome.exe processes appears in Windows Task Manager. Many people think that why there are so many chrome.exe processes are running when I have started only once Google Chrome browser, well that's because for every tab and every enabled  extension chrome creates a new process to give you seamless experience of browsing even if any one of the tab or extension hangs due to any reason.

Now the problem my colleague facing was with different resolutions this dialog was getting displayed differently, and on lower resolutions dialog was cropping the inner content of the dialog.
