>From a duplicate, Bug #774254 : I have worked around this by installing compizconfig-settings-manager and enabling the "Window Rules" plugin. You can make a rule "type=Dialog" for "Maximize". Now all Dialog windows are opened maximized. You could also make a "Size Rule" to have dialoges opened at a fixed size.
This workaround is far from perfect, because it also affects the file save dialog from Firefox, among others which is very ugly. But at least all buttons and filetype options are always visible. I noticed this bug is marked as medium and isn't assigned to anyone as of yet. I think the priority should be 'high', because vital functionality is hidden from the screen and the only way to make it visible is to maximize the dialog window, or move it with Alt+mouse- drag. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/760645 Title: Unity: a big part of many dialogs go outside of the vertical area of the screen on displays To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/760645/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
