@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 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1047156 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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047140 Title: lightdm overshoots physical screen size To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1047140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have the problem that the dialog that allows me to choose the window manager is too large in vertical direction (because I have quite some WMs installed). Therefore, I cannot click the confirmation button and change the WM. The session choice dialog should be scrollable!

I'm seeing the same problem on my CR-48 (1280x800 screen rez, 16:10), where I've installed quite a few WMs in 12.10b1. I can't see the confirmation button, as it's off the bottom of the screen. So, I can't change the WM. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1047140 Title: lightdm overshoots physical screen size To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1047140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
