(Without watching the video yet), I think I know what the problem is
here.. it is an issue with the widget sizes being demanded in the
presence of Ubuntu's overlay scrollbar feature.

To workaround it, you can start gschem with:

LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=3D0 gschem

Or if you wanted to patch the code with a quick bandaid:

diff --git a/gschem/src/x_multiattrib.c b/gschem/src/x_multiattrib.c
index e00cde9..28134c0 100644
--- a/gschem/src/x_multiattrib.c

                                           NULL));

   g_signal_connect (textview,
                    "key_press_event",



(For a proper fix, this height in needs be be less hard-coded, or at
least based on the size of text-size chosen by the user in their desktop
config.)
