Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubiquity
This is IMHO another very low priority problem but I felt worth a mention.
I notice that the new installer windows cannot be maximised, or even resized "dragging" with the mouse. While that may be merely a design change it can be slightly problematic when viewing a complex partitioning layout in the advanced partitioning window.
From a purely aesthetic pov even the slide-show is "cut-off" during the install procedure necessitating the operator to "scroll" left to right to read all of the text.
Again this is no show stopper, but perhaps something we could try to tackle for the RC?
I have so far only tested with the gtk frontend. I'll try to give the kde frontend a testdrive later.

The eye strain caused by this tiny window, even on by 1440x900 monitor, was uncomfortable to say the least.
I also have 2 drives with 24 partitions counting swap.
That window needs to be full screen.
This is a new installer, I understand that, out with the old and so forth. It is never, however, a good idea to through the baby out with the bath water.
