accessibility bug: export menu unusable

accessibility bug: export menu unusable

[Samuel Wales]

The new export window is unusable.  It shows the second half of the menu.

If you can't reproduce, please try on a frame with 20 lines and 67
columns.  If that does not reproduce, then increase font size to make
it so that a *full screen* frame is 20 lines total and 67 columns
total.

Adding scrollability would make it work.

Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how did you make the previous export window usable
under these conditions? It was 28-line high with no scrolling mechanism
either.

Indeed. Jambunathan has made some progress on this functionality.
I don't know in what state his patch is.

Until then, you may want to set `org-export-dispatch-use-expert-ui' to
a non-nil value, assuming you know which kind of export you want.

You can also remove back-ends you don't need from `org-export-backends',
or hide them from the menu with `org-export-invisible-backends'.

I don't remember whether the old exporter worked or not because I
called the functions I needed directly.  In the new exporter, I don't
know what features it has or how to call them so I need the menu.

I don't know what the options are.

I will try this, but I don't think it will be sufficient.

Thanks.
