Bug Description

Summary: Installing Kubuntu 9.04 is impossible because the partitioning program's window is too large to fit on the screen and the bottom is unreachable.

Details: I have lots of harddrives with lots of partitions. I want to manually set up the partitions to use for Ubuntu and choose to do so from the installation program. The partitioning program's GUI window lists all the partitions, but since there are so many of them, the window becomes so large that it does not fit on the screen. The bottom simply goes out the bottom of the screen and becomes both invisible and unreachable by mouse. The window can not be moved or resized in such a way to allow the mouse to get to the bottom. Hence it is impossible to complete the partitioning / installation.

Fix: the window should have a vertical scrollbar rather than becoming too big to fit on the screen.
