Does your screen resolution meet the minimum requirement? :wink:

Nevermind. I can see by the screenshot resolution that it does… :smile:

Was the window this large from the start of install or did it resize at partitioning?

resize at partitioning

You could try to set your partitions using gparted, then run the installer and see if it helps… It looks like the window grows to the size of your partition list instead of providing a scroll bar and keeping it’s own size.

Sometimes on laptop screens, one can’t confirm an action or finalize a selection because the OK button is not visible - typically on monitors such as 1366x768. With the dialog box (or window) being open and active, press Alt and F7 - the pointer changes to a hand and you are able to move the window up so you can see (and click on) the OK button.

Also holding down Alt then left-click will enable the same ability.

I just tried to reproduce in a VM with the Beta2 ISO. No luck.
I tried 1024x768. I changed the install-in-progress to 1366x768.

It produced a disappearing scroll bar and didn't grow vertically. As you can see I added a bunch of partitions to try to get it overflowing.

It may depend on the partition content or language settings.

Here it is if anyone sees something I don't.

Quick tip, place your mouse anywhere in the window, hold down alt and then right click to resize.

don’t work, it’s impossible to resize the windows, the Resize option is grey.

Good to know, - this function generally works with any window that can be resized, unless that function's been disabled. Hopefully this is something that's looked at in due course.

I’ve been having trouble with this so many times, too.
I set the language settings to Japanese.
I also use 1366x768 display.
I usually choose “Something else” for “Installation type”
This trouble also happens to “Who are you?” window and “Where are you?” window, too.
Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Linux Mint, despite those flavors.

I hope developers would solve this problem.
This problem is very simple because this will be solved if the window has a scroll bar.
