For example refresh icon/button at the top right of the main admin portal is shown as a half row if window size is too small horizontally. And "Users" tab and "Events" are then shown on next line down. Also at 1176x885 is not good enugh. It works instead ok at 1280x1024 and 1366x768 both full screen; see link: In my opinion it should desirable to give chance to have a correct behavior at least at 1024x768. Using xwininfo it seems that the first size I get correct and complete horizontal layout is 1268 at the moment, using xwininfo on oVirt 3.3.0.
