Many windows can not be resized to a smaller size. Unable to select options below

[Hicks]

In some windows, you can not access the options found on the lower part of it. The reason is that computers with screens 10 "or the like, by not allowing resize the screen, simply does not fit everything on the screen, unable to click on the options below that are usually options to accept, implement or cancel.
All windows should be able to resize to what the user needs, or add a way that the options do not come on the screen, is located on the right.

En ciertas ventanas, no es posible acceder a las opciones que se encuentran en la parte mas baja de la misma. El motivo es que en ordenadores con pantallas de 10" o similares, al no permitir redimensionar la pantalla, sencillamente no cabe todo en la pantalla, no pudiendo pulsar en las opciones inferiores que suelen ser opciones, aceptar, aplicar o cancelar.
Todas las ventanas deberian poderse redimensionar a lo que el usuario necesite, o bien añadir un modo en el que las opciones que no entren en la pantalla, se situen a la derecha.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Unfortunately, we cannot work on this bug because your description didn't include enough information. You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html. We'd be grateful if you would then provide a more complete description of the problem.

We have instructions on debugging some types of problems at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProcedures

At a minimum, we need:
1. the specific steps or actions you took that caused you to encounter the problem,
2. the behavior you expected, and
3. the behavior you actually encountered (in as much detail as possible).
Thanks!

I tried to make a bootable pendrive with bootable disc creator on a
computer with 7-10 inch screen.When you open the program, you can not
see the full content on the screen because the program window is bigger
than the screen vertically.The problem is that the program window can be
enlarged, but can not be reduced, thus making it impossible to press the
options found in the lower part of the program screen, usually the
apply, accept and cancel.
I hope I explained this time.

Hicks, many netbooks have this problem, however there is a workaround which allows users with small screens to move around a window to see all it contains. Simply hold down the ALT key and your mouse cursor will become a hand which can grab a window and move it beyond borders set by the screen.

The only exception to this is a bug I have seen in Disk Utility which does not allow this type of action - Bug #414107

If the ALT-Click-Drag does not allow you to move the window, you may re-open this bug.
