Bug Description

Slides don't fit window resulting in horizontal and vertical scrollbars being necessary (see attached screenshot).
Have only seen this on this particular machine. It happens when using the laptop's monitor during the install, but also when using an external monitor at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Using that same external monitor when installing on my desktop, I've never seen the issue. It's also not 100% reproducible, even on my laptop, but I've seen frequently with recent daily builds of both 32- and 64-bit images.

I've not seen this issue in quite a while. Are you still experiencing it with 20.04, 22.04, or 22.10?
