Hidden line during install wizard

[Yann Lossouarn]

During the installation wizard from the Live CD, the screen layout hides a line : the one concerning the need to type a password on connection. The whole screen should be visible, as it's very easy to miss the scrollbar...

This could easily be a checkbox, although that might not provide enough information about the negative choice.

We could probably also curtail the password entry explanation by at least a line.

Or maybe split the screen into 2. It implies adding 1 step to the installation process, but it would also allow more "air to breathe", into this one. Maybe the computer name would be candidate to be a dedicate step ? This way everything in this step would concern the user (name, password, auto connect...).

I just got this problem on a current lucid install with small resolution (1024x768). I saw the first two options, but the third (for ecryptfs home dir) was just hidden, and there was no indication that there were further options.

Oh, as my screenshot shows, it seems that the scrollbar was eliminated by now, so it's even less obvious.

i see it on a netbook omap install (1280x720 by default) and notice that the line shows up fine in english locale while its hidden in german. there are not more lines or extra linewidth in the german UI version. to me it looks more like a missing part in the german translation than a size issue.

This is likely bug 568885

This has long since been fixed. In fact, the UI of that page has changed quite a bit since this issue was raised.
