This is after I drag the screen to the upper left.  Notice how the
underlying "pane" that the installation step is redrawn onto..  extends
past the bottom of the screen you normally see displayed?   I suspect
the UEFI warning is being drawn "below" that,  so if you don't drag it
up.. the UEFI screen is never viewable.

For what it's worth, I installed this into a VM as well, and the
installation screens look as you'd expect. So this appears to be
isolated to this laptop, or display resolution in some way.

Title:
  Installer issue

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm installing 15.04 on a 2013 Macbook Pro, 13" retina.

  It looks like each 'screen' in the process is displayed in a pane or
  window, that you can drag around to relocate. One of the "panes" is
  titled "Install )as superuser) Preparing to Install Ubuntu' and the
  checkmarks for free space, plugged into power source, and connection
  to the internet are checked.   Upong clicking 'continue' in this pane,
  I initially thought the installer hung.  I waited for nearly 30
  minutes, and it never progressed to the next screen. I tried movint
  that pane around with the mouse, as it seemed.. odd, like it was off
  center, and something was 'off the screen' below the visible area.
  However, the mouse was unable to move the 'pane'

  Upon a second install attempt,  before it got to this point again, I
  moved the pane to the top left corner, as far as I could.  when I got
  to the same point mentioned above, I clicked continue. After a few
  moments, a UEFI warning popped up, telling me that some OS is set to
  bios compatibility mode.  I suspect that it was actually this prompt
  that was below the visible screen real estate, and caused the assumed
  'hang'.

  After having relocated the menu, and accepting the UEFI warning, the
  installation proceeded.  However, it also popped that same UEFI
  warning up approximately 4 additional times during the install
  process.  This seems a bit excessive, as once should be enough. I'm
  not sure if the repeated prompting is intended, or a bug.  But if it's
  intended, I would vote that it's a bit.. excessive.

  I'll reinstall this evening after I get home, and attach some
  screenshots to this report, as I think that would do better than
  trying to explain what I mean by a 'pane"
