Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

When installing Jaunty beta on a machine with a large number of partitions, the graphic representation at the top of the screen extends past the right edge of the screen, which apparently causes some of the buttons to be offscreen at the bottom right. There is no way to complete partitioning; the buttons to proceed are not visible and even keyboard shortcuts can't be used because there is no way to tell what keys to use.

I recommend this be triaged as critical, as there is no way to complete installation using the graphic installer on a machine with many partitions.

What screen resolution do you use?

The monitor is a Benq FP731 17" LCD with resolution of 1280x1024; that is the resolution it was set to after completing an "alternate" install.

This has long since been fixed. The disk diagram was first packed into a scrolled view to fix the immediate problem of it making the installer window massive. It was then removed with the partitioning redesign.

Please see the installer design specification for details on the current implementation:
