For me (on macOS), resizing the Arduino IDE window to it's minimum size does not replicate the issue:
However, the same problem occurs if I increase the Interface scale to 110%.
This is the scrollable area with Interface scale set to 120% percent:
I've also received a small amount of Help Center article feedback with complaints about the "Additional boards manager URLs" field missing, that may be caused by this issue.
Describe the problem
The dimensions of the "Preferences" dialog is limited by the Arduino IDE window dimensions.
If the window dimensions are small, the contents of the dialog may not fit within the available space. In this case, the dialog is scrollable, which allows the user to access the settings that fall outside the visible area of the dialog.
π The ability to scroll the dialog is difficult for the user to discover. These users are given the impression that some preferences are missing from the dialog due to a bug in Arduino IDE.
To reproduce

It is obvious to the user when a dialog is scrollable.
