[Bug 1890931] Re: ubiquity confirmation window off partially offscreen

[Chris Guiver]

this `scrot` image was created on a third box; dc7700 which had the same
issue...

this box has two screens. the panel on the left screen can be used to
show the portion that appears offscreen when on the initial dx6120
(i386) box, though appeared on second display for both d755-8 & dc7700
(this box) due to 2nd monitor.


** Description changed:

  Two QA-test installs of Lubuntu 18.04.5 daily.  (amd64 & i386)
  hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt)
  dell [optiplex] 755 (c2d-e8300, 8gb, amd/ati radeon rv610/radeon hd2400 pro/xt)
  
  Using the Manual Partitioning option, after making up my partitions (/
  and /home) a confirmation dialog box appears on screen, however it's not
  fully on-screen.

+ Do you want to return to the partitioner?
+ The file system on /dev/sda1 assigned to / has not been marked for formatting. Directories containing file system files (/etc, /lib, /usr, /var, ...) that already exist under any defined mountpoint will be deleted during the install.

  On one box it was only partially visible (single monitor, left of dialog box was on screen).
  On this box with two displays, the right side of the dialog box was visible on the second monitor.
  
  I didn't press PrintScreen, so I'll aim to repeat operation & grab image
  of dialog box.
  
  Minor importance though, as on both boxes I could grab & drag dialog box
  so it was fully visible
  
  (I got the feeling the dialog box was centering on my cursor, which
  wasn't a good idea as the cursor was near the bottom right of the screen
  as that was where I last clicked NEXT)

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Three QA-test installs of Lubuntu 18.04.5 daily.  (amd64 & i386)
  hp dx6120mt (mini-tower, pentium 4 dual core, 3gb, winfast clone of nvidia 7600gt)

  hp dc7700 (c2d-e6320, 5gb, nvidia quadro nvs 290)

  Using the Manual Partitioning option, after making up my partitions (/
  and /home) a confirmation dialog box appears on screen, however it's
  not fully on-screen.

  Message occurs when a partition is selected without formatting.
