Public bug reported: I recently got a new laptop, ThinkPad E14 G2 with AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with Radeon Graphics. The live-system boots only with a screen resolution of 800x600, which cannot be increased. The problem is that the windows of the installer do not fit the screen so that the buttons for "cancel", "back" and, most importantly, "continue" are not visible on the screen. Thus any novice trying to install Ubuntu/Linux on a recent laptop with AMD hardware will surely despair and be turned off from using Ubuntu/Linux. I suggest that the windows of the installer get a scroll bar to make it feasible to install Ubuntu in such cases.
