Windows don't display on the screen properly

[Ayeshah]

Certain programs or dialogue boxes I am unable to select the 'continue boxes' or scroll down properly. I.e. the system testing box says press continue I cann't scroll down or enlarge the box to get to the button; even when trying to tab using the keyboard.

I hope my problem makes sense....

Ayeshah, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1381227

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.
