Owner

The Weather floater (indra/newview/skins/default/xui/en/floater_sl_weather.xml) is a fixed 320 x 835 px with can_resize="false" and no scroll container. On smaller or scaled displays (e.g. 1080p at 125% UI, laptops), the bottom of the floater runs off screen and its last controls can't be reached.

Fix

Wrap the floater's contents in a scroll_container, with a vertical scrollbar when the floater is shorter than its contents.
Make the floater resizable vertically (can_resize="true", a sensible min_height, width fixed or with a min width), and remember its size.
When it opens, clamp it to the visible area (below the top bars, above the bottom toolbar) so it never starts off screen.
Check any other tall Slipstream floaters with the same pattern (fixed height > ~700 px, no scroll), e.g. the weather / environment / graphics floaters we added, and fix them the same way.

Test

1080p at 125% and 150% UI scale, and a small window: every control reachable by scrolling; resizing works; the size persists.

The Weather floater (`indra/newview/skins/default/xui/en/floater_sl_weather.xml`) is a fixed **320 x 835** px with `can_resize="false"` and no scroll container. On smaller or scaled displays (e.g. 1080p at 125% UI, laptops), the bottom of the floater runs off screen and its last controls can't be reached. ## Fix - Wrap the floater's contents in a `scroll_container`, with a vertical scrollbar when the floater is shorter than its contents. - Make the floater resizable vertically (`can_resize="true"`, a sensible `min_height`, width fixed or with a min width), and remember its size. - When it opens, clamp it to the visible area (below the top bars, above the bottom toolbar) so it never starts off screen. - Check any other tall Slipstream floaters with the same pattern (fixed height > ~700 px, no scroll), e.g. the weather / environment / graphics floaters we added, and fix them the same way. ## Test 1080p at 125% and 150% UI scale, and a small window: every control reachable by scrolling; resizing works; the size persists.
