Don't count on it. This is the most ignored bug. It gets reported,
confirmed, ignored, allowed to expire, dropped and then re-reported.

This is giving Ubuntu a bad name.

Personally, I think at this point it needs to get assigned to someone
who will actually fix it. (Fire the dude who's been ignoring it) It's
such a simple fix, too. Redesign the forms so they fit on 800x600.
