** Description changed:

  while trying out simulated phone calls on nexus4 vivid+o+silo0
  the dialer app has the big green dial/hangup button floating over the numbers if not sized to the expected phone formfactor (specifically sized smaller)
  
  so maybe this is a design question - should the dialer app have a fixed minimum?
  should the dialer app window even be allowed to resize ?
  and what to do if that minimum doesn't fit on screen well ?
+ 
+ 
+ --------- UX comment ---------
+ 
+ The dialer app should have a set minimum window size on the desktop so that all functionalities are always visible and accessible. Ideally the window should not be resized for the time being.
+ If it is unavoidable to increase the window size then the additional GU can simply be filled with white space/the same background the dialer is using. 
+ 
+ For a greater user experience a longer term solution is to make the
+ dialer convergent, meaning it would use the multi column layout similar
+ to the AB and messaging apps.
