I can confirm this bug too. My h/w is an Acer Aspire 1692WLMi Laptop with ATI MOBILITY RADEON X700 PCI Express With 256MB RAM and 15.4 WXGA CrystalBrite TFT LCD (1280x800 Natural Resolution). The bug is apparent with both edgy eft installation and Feisty Fawn Herd 1 Desktop CD. The workaround proposed by S.Rey solves the problem.
