Bug Description

Lubuntu groovy daily has for a time booted and offers a grub menu with a few options, Lubuntu .. uefi settings however it appears a a small image on the screen for the

sony vaio svp112a1cw (i5-9400u, 4gb, intel haswell-ULT)

** What occurs

Refer https://photos.app.goo.gl/JMn6uJ7FsQHms22Y8

where maybe 1/3rd of (horizontal) screen real estate is utilized (about 1/6th of total screen quickly using a nearby ruler)

** Expected results

I'd hope GRUB would utilize all the screen, so old guys like me can read it.

** History

This was first noticed awhile ago and documented somewhere I can't find currently. Google photos & my android phone report 3-July-2020 @ 15:43 (Australian EST) for the photo I've provided link to. That was the time/date I was having trouble with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-cdimage/+bug/1886148 which caused that machine to fail to boot, so that may have been the time of this change (or a big clue, I don't like the sony ultracrap device, so it's not booted as often as others)

Xubuntu groovy daily is identical.

and issue is still there. It's been around awhile, and I usually do NOT tag it as related to device (less of a worry on larger screens, this device has small screen hence significance; my age no doubt too!)
