Bug Description

When trying to add a Facebook account under System Settings -> Online Accounts it says the following after trying to login to Facebook.

"Your popup is too small to display this page. Please enlarge it to proceed."

This is a gray overlay blocking the ability to accept Ubuntu access to Facebook. There is no way to enlarge the window so it can't proceed.

Hi Chris and thanks for reporting this bug. Just to make sure I got it right: did that screen appear as soon as you start creting the facebook account, or is that after entering your username and password?

It was after I entered the username and password. If you look closely
at the picture you can see where it shows my login but won't let me
click through since the window is too small.

You can easily reproduce on a yakkety livecd, you just need to delete the ubuntu entry on the facebook account to get that page which asks for confirmation of the rights you want to give to "ubuntu"
