Title:
  Change layout to optimize vertical space

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Update manager behaves really bad with netbook screens (mine is an Eee
  PC 901) when the changelog is being shown. In the attached screenshot,
  only 2 packages can be seen from the possible upgrades list and few
  lines in the changelog. Meanwhile, most of the space to the right part
  is underutilized.

  My idea is to change the layout to a two-column one where the list of
  packages is in the left part and the description/changes is opened
  from the right (with adjustable horizontal size). That would also have
  the side benefit of putting all the buttons close together ("check",
  "install updates", "settings" and "close").

  This solution would really improve the usability of the app. with
  small screens and should be still nice in bigger ones.
