Bug Description

If you have a 16:10 monitor like 1440x900 or 1280x800, you can choose smaller resolution 960x600 in the game settings. This resolution should only take effects when you are playing a mission or skirmish, as the lobby/shell is fixed at 800x600. However, if you finish or quit the battle and return to the lobby/shell, you will stay in 960x600, not return to the fixed 800x600. It seems that the controls think they are in 800x600, while the background think it is in 960x600.

A screenshot might explain better.

This bug doesn't cause any trouble except ugliness, so I think the priority should be low.

Once upon a time I was faced with this error. This happens not only with 960x600. Also, this bug has already been mentioned on the Launchpad (I can not find it), I remember someone was not able to confirm.

I find the already mentioned bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ares/+bug/895231
Sadly its status is Won't Fix, so one can not find the bug only using the simple search.
Can somebody reopen/merge these two bugs please? The critical requirement for this bug to reappear seems to be width being 600 and height not being 800, like 1024 or 960.
