Emoticons - posting screen issue

When I go to the posting screen, the number of emoticons (smilies) visible pushes the submit button nearly off or even fully off the bottom of the page. This is certainly an annoying issue and not a functional issue and it is more noticeable in the new theme (prosilver) than it is in the old theme (subSilver). I have a fairly high resolution set so I don't think that is it - and there is a large empty space between the typing block and the submit/preview/save buttons. Is anyone else seeing this or is it just me and my Linux/Firefox setup?

There seems to be less white space now. Still quite a bit. I don't consider it a huge problem.

That looks better. I don't have to scroll down to get to the buttons. I know it means that there are fewer emoticons in the list though - so I am okay if many others have a preference for the old way, but I honestly prefer this one. Nice balance for me.

I like not having to scroll to find the Submit button. I had to take off a few, but the two big ones seemed to be the space-hogs.
Jim, I don't have any space between the bottom of the text window and the options list and no space between the bottom of the options list and the Submit button. Is this not what you are seeing?
Chas.

Affirmative. I have to scroll down an entire screen.
I have an older 17-inch monitor. My browser window is probably narrower than yours.
I generally use Mozilla, but I just checked Internet Explorer and it looks similar.

Better, thanks.
The animated emoticons can really slow down an older/slower computer system like mine, so the fewer that show, the less they slow me down.
