@2vi1: Yeah, it overshoots at the bottom, too.

I found two work-arounds. From memory,

A.
1. select your wm, 
2. tab (once if I recall), 
3. press enter, then the dialogue window will change or go back to the log-in 
dialogue, 
4. input your password if you haven't done so already and see yourself log into 
the desktop environment of your choice.

Please feel free to correct me.

B.
Another work around is to uninstall unused window managers so as to make the 
drop down list shorter, optimizing use of screen real estate.

Comment:
I'd like to see this fixed, but there's two temporary "solutions".

Observation:
I gather this is happening because the system's difficulty in determining my 
monitor's EDID, as reported at

Side Question:
Might the system's difficulty in determining EDID drastically slow down boot 
up? I've run various diagnostics and my HD is fine, only one fan is out, which 
is noted by the Apple diagnostic. This MacBook Pro used to boot fine with prior 
versions of Ubuntu which didn't have this TFT issue.
