[Bug 1058772] Re: Detail panes are dysfunctionally tiny

[anatoly techtonik]

You have a very small screen.  The widget is resizable, so it should
expand itself on load. As for vertical space - it is really not enough
for comfort reading, which is a subject of #1078769

Title:
  Detail panes are dysfunctionally tiny

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

Bug description:
  Software Updater asked me if I want to install 124 MB of "updated
  software". Since I am interested in knowing more about this
  proposition than merely the amout of data that will be transferred, I
  clicked "Details of updates". Instead of showing me details of the
  updates, Software Updater displayed a single generic heading and half
  of the name of one update.

  Even worse, when I click on "Technical description" to view what I
  hope might finally contain details about the updates, the
  dysfunctionally tiny pane shrinks even more—it now shows *no*
  updates—and a new pane appears which tells me what version of
  something is currently installed.

  This problem also affects the "Details" pane below the "Installing
  updates..." progress bar while updates are being downloaded.

  Screenshots are attached.
