Public bug reported:
To upgrade (x)ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10 on my laptop with a 1024x600px
screen is impossible.
Reason:
The "Do you want to start the upgrade?" popup has ALL buttons for yes/no
confirmation OUTSIDE of the available screenspace. Thus you cant even abort the
procedure, let alone start it, just remain stuck in limbo (until you kill it
via commandline).
As seen on the screenshot there is ample space in the pop-up, but the
forced minimum height of the popup still pushes the buttons out of reach
off screen. The seen size is after manually changing the popup window
size to the absolute minimum allowed.
Potentially there are several solutions here
1) Lower the forced minimum height requirement to something that is a bit more
sane (eg 400px insted of 800? or whatever the current limit is)
2) Is the any real logical reason for requiring a MINIMUM height at all?
If not, why not have a default and let the user be able to resize the
window as they please/need?
3) There is an invention called scroll-bar. Excellent tool for allowing
things that don't fit in eg a popup window to still be both readable and
reachable.
