Summary0009185: pinephone pro windows going offscreen
Description

if i try to use vlc, some settings windows go outside the view.

if i make the resolution smaller, it will be impossible or nearly impossible to interact with the gui, and i think things would still go offscreen.

Phosh is still under active development, and many desktop applications aren’t fully optimized for small screens yet. These issues are related to application compatibility with Phosh, not Kali Linux itself.

I just tried vlc in my pinephone which has same display configuration as pinephonepro. and i don't see any issue with it.

And if something breaks because of an upstream project like Phosh or a desktop app not designed for small screens, that's not Kali's fault. We're not going to patch every upstream issue ourselves.
Calling that an "excuse" shows a lack of understanding of how Linux distributions work. If you're serious about getting things fixed, report issues to the right maintainers instead of blaming the distro that packages them.
