[Bug 842492] Re: Installer uses a fixed-height window that is small for 1024x600 netbook

[Ben Stokes]

I experienced the same problem on a Samsung NC210 netbook. The screen
where you can select a profile photo or take one with the webcam has
buttons which are completely off-screen on a 1024z600 resolution
monitor. You can tab to an 'invisible' button and press enter to
proceed, blindly guessing that you are clicking on OK, rather than back
or cancel...

Title:
  Installer uses a fixed-height window that is small for 1024x600
  netbook

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Summary: the installer in Ubuntu Oneiric beta 1 uses a fixed height,
  resulting in some buttons not displayed correctly on netbooks that
  have a 1024x600 screen resolution. I've attached a photo taken during
  installation so you can see exactly what I'm talking about.

  Solution proposed: since there is a lot of space available I would
  suggest to make the window size smaller or set its height to
  MAXIMUM_SCREEN_HEIGHT - 40 pixel or something similar.
