Problem overlapping window on screen.

Currently the open save dialog boxes on my Ubuntu 12.10 Beta 2 AMD 64 BIT
Computer overlaps and does not fit on my screen everytime i click file > open
or file > save.

See attachment below:(most noticeably in the bottom right hand corner where I
cannot see the open or cancel buttons)

This occurs on programs like LibreOffice or Firefox and Google Chrome:

Could there be a similar approach to solving this like the edit bookmarks
window in Nautilus where the window remembers to open maximised or as a window
that fits nicely in the middle of your screen?

As I believe firstly that this is a bug, that has occurred since ubuntu 10.04
and earlier.

secondly the window overlaps on my screen every time I click file open or file
save on my ubuntu machine for any open or save dialogue.
There should be no reason to resize the window every time to maximise or
minimise as it should remember its position every time.

I think this is a problem with gnome or nautilus? If it is not could you please
redirect where this problem can be fixed.
