Title:
  diff window is too small on upgrade

Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” source package in Quantal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  = Impact =

  When upgrading from precise to quantal if you receive a dialog about a
  customized configuration file the window that displays the differences
  only shows 2 lines so you need to scroll in it to see the differences
  and the window is not resizable which makes it quite hard to review
  the changes.

  = Test Case =

  1) Download new-test.py from this bug
  2) sudo cp new-test.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/
  3) cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
  4) python3 new-test.py
  5) observe a conf file prompt with a 2 line diff window when expanded which is not resizable
  6) Ctrl-C in the terminal you launched python3 new-test.py
  7) do not submit the crash report you receive

  1) install the updated package from -proposed
  2) cd /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages
  3) python3 new-test.py
  4) observe a conf file prompt with a multi-line diff window when expanded which is resizable

  When running update-manager -d to upgrade from precise to quantal on
  two different machines I would be prompted to view the diffs between
  two files.  However the window that appears is not resizeable and it
  only shows two lines which is completely unusable.  See attached
  screenshot for an example
