Here is a suggestion that would solve once and for all the problem. It is simple yet it would ensure ubiquity is always usable (even in locales with long strings, complicated partition setups or whatever situation), while giving designers some room to breathe.
The suggestion is: between the ubiquity window and the top ubiquity widget (whatever it is), insert a ScrolledWindow (https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkScrolledWindow.html). That will automatically show scrollbars when and only when the actual window is too small. You can see a mockup of the solution. I'm not claiming it is perfectly elegant. It just turns a situation where Ubiquity is impossible to use into a solution where Ubiquity can be used just by using the scrollbars as needed. Was this already discussed ? Are there any drawbacks ?
