Description:
on using mysql workbench on ubuntulinux .. the application window is not working fine when resizing or maximizing.
as you can't access the actions you want to execute.
and also the workbench window is not fitting the screen. as there is some actions didn't appear.

How to repeat:
open workbench on ubuntu linux 10.04 or 9.10.
you will find that not all the window appears. and there is some features below the screen.

try to maximize the window from the maximizing button, and you will find the case ..
 that you will not be able to pointing to any actions from the actions appears on the window ..

what is the screen-resolution you are using workbench on?

My Screen resolution is 1280 * 720 Ubuntu 10.04 Linux (Gnome)

Are you able to provide a screen-shot showing the issue reported?. Thanks in advance.

When Trying to Click on any Action when the window is maximized, that screenshot happen .. and you can't access any action.

The actual problem is not the 16:9 format but the vertical resolution of less than 800 pixels. WB on Linux assumes that it is running in a default gnome shell on a screen at least 800p high, so it sets the window size to a minimum of 752 (including the title bar) aka. 800 minus the two 24p high top and bottom gnome panels.

When running it on a screen with smaller vertical size, or on 800p with one of the gnome panels increased to use more than 24 pixel vertically (i increased the bottom one on my 1280x800 screen to get a more usable workspace switcher display)
parts of the window start hiding behind the panel bars or even off screen

fixed

fix confirmed in repository

An entry has been added to the 5.2.22 changelog: 

        Workbench did not size its application window correctly on 
        screen sizes with a 16/9 aspect ratio.
