I shortened the merchant window by shrinking the icon by half, and as a result was able to cut the height of each object line by half. Some object descriptions were trying to line wrap, so I made the merchant window wider. Once the window was wider, there was room to put the buy/sell buttons side-by-side, instead of stacked, and shorten the height of the selected oject area to the left of the buy/sell buttons.
