Description

It shouldn't have these scroll bars. This doesn't happen for me on Windows with 1.3.0. On LXDE I'm using recent Git version. (Not sure if something changed with versions or it's related to LXDE). A few other tabs look weird too for example the edges of text for some options missing.

Research direction
The issue is a UI bug in the preferences window where unwanted scroll bars appear on LXDE. Start by examining the preferences window UI files (likely .ui or related layout code in the mumble source). Look for any hardcoded size constraints or missing size policies that could cause the window to be smaller than its content. Since it is reported only on LXDE, consider checking for differences in window manager behavior or Qt style settings. The issue has comments suggesting it may be related to recent Git changes; check the commit history around the time of the report for changes to the preferences dialog.
