That is most unfortunate. :-(

As a workaround, can you access a menu for the window by pressing
Alt+Spacebar and select Move, then move the window up so that its top
border is higher than the top of the screen, rendering the controls at
the bottom of the window accessible?

Title:
  Installer windows are sometimes too tall for small wide-screen devices
  (netbooks)

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Some of the Ubiquity windows are too tall for widescreen netbooks (or
  my widescreen netbook at least).  I'm running this on a lenovo S10
  netbook.  After booting the installer, the first screen (that asks if
  I want to Try Ubuntu Live, or Install Ubuntu) is too tall for the
  display.

  I ran into this another time while trying installs on this netbook
  when a window resized (I tried manual partitioning) and resized itself
  too much for this screen.  I had to alt-click-hold to drag the window
  up so I could even see the navigation buttons in this case.
