Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

I'm on an Asus 1001 eeepc with a 1024x600 display.
Selecting the option for manual partitioning gets me the 'Allocate drive space' window but the Quit/Back/Install now buttons are off the bottom of the screen and there is no scroll bar making it impossible to use.

I can't use the installer on a Dell Mini 10V to specify my partitions, because of this idiotic design failure.

Confirmed. I've been able to reproduce it.

I seem to recall being able to alt+click the interface up, but I might be mistaken. I did not test that while I had U-I up.
