Description
The Language control panel needs to limit number of languages allowed in UI, or be a scroll view. Currently you can click the (+) icon until the languages disappear off the bottom of screen, by which point the delete (-) is off-screen as well so you can no longer make ANY changes to language (without resorting to the Terminal and hacking).
A scrolling view is probably safer as that will work for different resolution displays.

Actually, I mean I see visually the problem. But, is someone gonna select more then 3 languages maximum? I could fit 4 in by a dimension from 800x600, that sounds enough to me.

Sounds good enough to me also :-)

So shouldn't the UI be limited to allowing 4 languages, otherwise the user can still screw up the language UI with controls going off screen?

We could. Or we add a scrolled window. AFAIK, it is not shown as long as it is not needed.
