Styles popup dialog is too large
OS: Windows 10 (10.0), Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.0.487915773, revision: 1977cb3
I have my taskbar set to not hide by default. This means that the buttons on the style window popup are off the bottom of the screen and hidden by the taskbar.
No dialog should ever be drawn full screen height.

Depends on your display settings, X*Y pixels and, important, scaling. You're probably using 13" or 14" laptop screen at a 150% scaling, this is known to result in that dialog to become too large. Try 125%

15" (HP eq1-1048au) at 1366x768 scaled 100%

A 15" screen should fit more though, at least in height
Mine is 1920x1080 (recommended) scaled 125% (reduced from the 150% recommendation)

I'm vision impaired, so that's my optimum.
I'm also a software engineer, and in my 25 years of development have always had a rule of thumb that the maximum dialog height should be 2/3 of the anticipated maximum screen height (because that also works with people being able to take in the whole window at once according to publishing rules... I've also been a magazine editor).
That dialog already has panels with scroll bars over most of its layout, so it has no need IMO to be anywhere near that height; even people with large screen monitors are likely to have to scroll the panels anyway.
So please just reduce the size of the dialog. Thanks.

A major UI overhaul is in progress for MuseScore 4, due be the end of this year.
Until then you'd just need a bigger screen I'm affraid. Or access the OK and cancel buttons 'blindly' (return/esc.)
Hold on: in 3.6.2 you can resize it. So yet another reason to upgrade ASAP
Hmm, actually you can in 3.6.0 too
