[Bug 760645] [NEW] a big part of many dialogs go outside of the vertical area of the screen on netbooks

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

This is a regression in compiz from Maverick as this was not a problem
in Maverick.

when you open the "Open" dialog in chromium its vertical height is so
much that much of it goes outside of the screen. In the same way when
you start gimp for the first time on a netbook the its toolbars go
outside the screen height even they can be resized to reduce their
height. I have attached a few screenshots for example.
