Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Using the natty alpha2 ISO, was trying to install onto an Asus Eee PC
1000HE.

Seemed to be working OK but I went into the manual partitioner to set up
btrfs and the bottom of the window is cut off—right below the dropdown
to select where to install GRUB to—and there was no way to relocate the
window so I could see the bottom.

Based on how many times I could Tab before the highlight cycled around
to the top of the window there were many controls cut off.

A possible fix might be the ability to set the system dpi to 72 (or to
do this automatically if screen height is 600 or less.) I typically run
this system that way with maverick and this allows many dialogs to
display their full contents in a more screen-size-appropriate manner.

** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
