The new export dispatcher confused me when it displayed an incomplete
list of backend options. At first I thought my configuration must not
be loading LaTeX and HTML properly. Then I discovered that the *Org
Export Dispatcher* window does not behave well when the frame is too
small. I am using the GUI version of GNU Emacs for Mac OS X. I
verified that the same problem exists when running in a terminal.
I have the LaTeX, Beamer, HTML, and iCal backends enabled. I open a
new terminal (80x24) and type
emacs test.org
When I invoke the dispatcher with C-c C-e, a new dispatch window opens
at the bottom. The terminal screen looks like this (I truncated a
couple of lines to avoid line wrapping in this email):
---start screen---

The dispatcher does not properly display all available options and
does not use all available space. I cannot get it to scroll. If I make
my terminal window larger (80x40) and do the same thing, I get better
results:

I added vertical scrolling to the menu a few hours ago. Could you
upgrade Org and report the results?
Thank you.

Seems to be an improvement. Now the dispatch window uses all available
space. The top of the buffer (Options) is displayed at the top of the
window, as expected.
But for short windows, the bottom of the buffer gets cut off. There is
no way to scroll the window that I can find, either in the gui or
terminal emacs. Also, in the gui I get a lot of repeated down-mouse-1
messages in the minibuffer when I click around on the scroll bar and
in the dispatch window.

Use SPC, DEL, C-n or C-p to scroll.

That works.
Any reason scroll bars could not be enabled too? I see one, but any
mouse clicks just generate spurious minibuffer messages. Thanks.

When *Org Export Dispatch* is visible, the minibuffer will catch any
event, including mouse clicks, until it recognizes a key.
I think this limitation is not unbearable.
