[Bug 712848] Re: Ubiquity window too wide for 1024x600 screen resolution

[gouri]

There are many bug reports involving installer window too big for screen. For example : #727905 #51442 #632320 #630363 #890983 #173392 #712848 #38442 . Perhaps some should be marked as duplicate to clean up the bug list.
This situation happens not only on some hardware but in some case of video driver limitation or virtual machines.
I suggest to make them duplicates of the oldest, #38442, provided that we mark that one as "also affects Ubuntu 14.04".
I'm adding some suggestions there.

Title:
  Ubiquity window too wide for 1024x600 screen resolution

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  Attached are two screenshots showing how wide the Ubiquity window is
  on my Acer Aspire One netbook with 1024x600 resolution. One shows
  Ubiquity stretching below the current workspace and the other shows
  Ubiquity taking up two workspaces. Definitely a bug for sure, as I
  have to switch workspaces just to see installation progress.
