In Kubuntu (22.04) Ubiquity window is still wider than 800x600:
916x589 - welcome screen
916x560 - installer run from "Try It"
In the "Try It" option there is also a Plasma panel visible at the bottom
(44px),
which limits the available desktop space even further to 800x556.

Title:
Ubiquity dialogues too large for 800x600 display
To manage notifications about this
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
Here is a suggestion that would solve once and for all the problem.

with long strings, complicated partition setups or whatever situation), while
giving designers some room to breathe.

On a Sun x4500 with 48 disks, the window grows too large vertically even
on a 1024x768 screen. The list of disks/partitions does not scroll
forcing one to Alt-Click1 and drag to select a disk and then Alt-Click1
and drag to, for example, choose Edit. This was with gutsy.

I've read through most of these posts, and I found a solution that might

Might I suggest that the Ubiquity windows are all given a scrollbar so
that if the screen is too small, the window resizes itself to the
maximum size and the scrollbars appear, allowing the user to scroll to
