OK, I ran into an issue trying to manage installation of the ESP32-S3 boards. This comes from an external board manager link [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json ]
Note that you cannot see the bottom where the version button is at, although I have the scrollbar pulled as far down as it will go.
There is a workaround to this issue by making the boards manager panel wider, as seen here:
So while the IDE does work and I can manage the library with the workaround, it's behavior is, frankly, ugly.
Hi @weshowe . Thanks for your report. This bug is tracked by the Arduino IDE developers here:
opened 05:44AM - 28 Oct 22 UTC
topic: code
type: imperfection
### Describe the problem
The Arduino IDE Library Manager is used to install/u… pdate/uninstall any of thousands of libraries. Each entry includes an "**INSTALL**" button used to install the version selected from the version menu.
This view is located in the left side panel, the width of which is adjustable.
🐛 When the panel is sized to the minimum width, the "**INSTALL**" button of certain entries is either clipped or completely hidden by the bottom border of the entry.
### To reproduce
1. Maximize the IDE window.
**ⓘ** See the information under the "Additional context" section to learn about the relation of the problem to window dimensions.
1. Open the "**Library Manager**" view.
1. In the "**Filter your search...**" field, type `tensorflow`
1. Hover the mouse pointer over the right border of the left side panel.
1. Click and drag leftward to resize the panel to the minimum width.
🐛 The "**INSTALL**" button and even version menu of certain entries is either clipped or completely hidden by the bottom border of the entry.
### Expected behavior
The "**INSTALL**" button is always completely visible on the Library Manager entries.
### Arduino IDE version
2.0.1
### Operating system
- Windows
- Linux
### Operating system version
- Windows 10
- Ubuntu 20.04
### Additional context
I find that the problem is dependent on window dimensions/scaling. The problem occurs at the default 100% scale on my 1920x1200 display with the window maximized. On my 1366x768 display, the problem only occurs at scaling values of 60% and lower with the window maximized. With smaller window dimensions, I also must use smaller scaling values in order to produce the problem.

The same issue also occurs in a search for `irremote` or `sigfox`.

#### Workaround
1. Open the Boards Manager or Library Manager view if it is not already open.
1. Hover your mouse pointer over the right border of the Boards/Library Manager view until the pointer changes to the horizontal resize double arrow.
1. Click and drag the mouse pointer to the right to make the Boards/Library Manager view wider.
After doing that, you should see the **INSTALL** button.
