windows don't fit on the screen

[Alexander Kallenbach]

As described above. For example it happens to me when I want to save a document. The control-buttons (Save, Print etc.) are not fully shown. It doesn't happen only to evince but to several other gnome-apps (evolution etc ...).
I'll attach a screenshot to clarify what I mean.

I'm not able to reproduce this bug in Oneiric 11.10 evince 3.2.1-0ubuntu2.2.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Marja Erwin (marja-e)]

A major issue in Maverick and Natty. I can't use Oeneric because all the extra clicks and extra typing aggravates my arm injuries.

[Alexander Kallenbach (kallenbachalex)]

Still a bug in Precise.

[Alexander Kallenbach (kallenbachalex)]

As described above several gnome-apps are concerned. The bug is still present in Gnome 3.4. I'll attach a screenshot of the update-manager to clarify what I mean.

[Alexander Kallenbach (kallenbachalex)]

Is more data needed to fix this bug?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Alexander Kallenbach (kallenbachalex)]

Still a bug in Quantal

[TomasHnyk (sup)]

This should be marked as affecting compiz and/or unity as it is unlikely the bug is in Evince or updatemanager.

[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

I can not seem to reproduce this on recent (13.04 and later) versions of Ubuntu. Could you please confirm this is still reproduceable?

[TomasHnyk (sup)]

Yes, it happens for update manager on 13.04. (Almost) every time.

Alexander Kallenbach, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Vivid Vervet.

This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous versions of Ubuntu, please perform as much as possible of the SRU Procedure [1] to bring the need to a developer's attention.

It works on 14.04 - I have not seen this bug in a long time, I think over a year, so no need for a SRU I think.
