Bug Description

Hello Sirs!

   After 5 or 6 updates ago in Unity, I've felt this problem, but I thought i could be easily resolved in the next updates, but now, I think, one month has passed and nothing changes. My problem is simples but probably i'm an idiot. LOL

Like this image (http://imgur.com/74XTT) every config window, or software with layouts of the same kind, i can't see the options, until my window reaches 2 or 3 virtual desktops on resizing it.

Its a really pain in the knee, when I try to change any config, or schedule something, or download new packages who uses this kind of window layout, and I have to huge resize the window just to see the options, i have other examples if anyone need. I am not sure if here is the right place to report this problem, or to get the solution, yet. But it was the first place that came into mu mind, since the problem began after an upgrade.

i'm waiting for some contact, or an ask to provide more information.

Thank all of you since now,

Daniel

Unity is not to blame for this, the individual applications are. In your case its dconf-editor.
