Here on Linux Mageia 6, I can't resize any of the boxes (either
normal/advanced), in any way (neither maximize nor with the mouse).
Some remarks:
1. "Normal" box:
1. IMHO, the box such as "Installation root", displayed as follows
(ascii art):
┌────
│ /usr/local / texlive / 2018
│ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
│ | Browse... + | Change + | Toggle year +
│ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-------------+
└────
could be confusing, especially for beginners: this way of choosing
a directory is quite unusual.
2. Some of the boxes can be closed thanks to the `Esc' key (e.g. the
"Warning" one when "Toggle year" is clicked), other can't
(e.g. "Directory name" when "Change" is clicked).
3. "Installation root" → "Toggle year" → "Yes" makes the year part
empty, which isn't what I expected by "toggling" the year.
2. "Advanced" box:
1. Same remarks as 1.1 and 1.2.
2. The 1st "Change" button opens a box that contains (as above)
a "Browse..." button. The "Specify directories" as well, but with
lowercase "browse...".
All the best.
