Sorry, this is not a bug in Ubuntu, but a design issue with the web site
www.ubuntu.com. The web site is not designed for screens narrower than
about 978 pixels as far as I can tell. So horizontal scroll bars are
correct. I checked it today.
** Summary changed:
- Unity/Compiz doesn't calculate/transmit the correct window size to maximized
windows, the width of the launcher isn't subtracted
+ Ubuntu home page does not scale to screen widths < 978 pixels
** Changed in: unity
Status: New => Invalid
** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid

Ubuntu home page does not scale to screen widths < 978 pixels

Bug description:
1) Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Betan 1 (nightly build)
2) unity: Installiert: 5.8.0-0ubuntu2
compiz: Installiert: 1:0.9.7.2-0ubuntu4
3) Unity should report the size of a maximized window to a program,
that uses this screenarea, like Firefox.
4) Unity/Compiz doesn't subtract the size off the launcher, like you can see
on the screenshots. Without the launcher, programs like Firefox are working
correctly, but with the launcher attached fixed at the side, the place launcher
uses, isn't subtracted from the size - and so the programs calculate the view
port wrongly - and show up a horizontal slider, so that you can reach the part
of the window to the right, that is not viewable / accessable.
That is very ugly, when just there is some element, the use the homepage.
Most anoying on interactive, flash using sides.
That behaviour is also seen on other programs then firefox.
Temporary workaround:
automatically hide the launcher, but might be a no go for the personal Unity
workflow.
