Besides on netbooks, I think there are three other likely usage cases where this bug will manifest itself:
(1) A user may manually use a low resolution even on a computer with a video card and monitor that support higher resolutions, in order to cause text to appear larger (i.e. for accessibility). (2) When upgrading or replacing their computers, many people keep their old monitors. Most monitors support resolutions of at least 1024x768, but they do not necessarily support higher resolutions with desirable color depth and refresh rate. (3) When using a virtual machine, the "screen" of the virtual machine tends to be small when it is displayed inside a window on the host desktop. This is my situation. Specifically, I can verify that the Install Now button is below the bottom of the screen at (at least) the "Allocate drive space" step when partitioning manually (with ubiquity 2.5.22) with a screen resolution of 800x600. It's easy to forget, but I think a lot of people still use 800x600 as the screen resolution on their desktop computers. That's the resolution I usually use for virtual machines' screens (as my host machine for virtualization is a laptop that normally runs with a resolution of 1366x768), and on some of my older Macintosh computers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/727905 Title: Installer windows are sometimes too tall for small wide-screen devices (netbooks) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
