[Bug 1649957] Re: update-manager "show details" only opens a 1 line display

[Jeff Van Epps]

I've had this for at least 4 weeks with 16.04.1. It seems like it
started after I had to downgrade nvidia-* due to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-
drivers-304/+bug/1639180 and tried various things like installing gnome-
flashback and Gnome3. To be clear Unity is what I select on the login
screen.

Title:
  update-manager "show details" only opens a 1 line display

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I click on the "details" option while installing software
  updates, the window expands to a good size but the actual terminal
  display (showing apt or dpkg output) is limited to only 1 line in
  height, so you can't really see what is going on.  Expanding the
  window doesn't affect the size of the terminal display.

  Expected behaviour: the terminal display showing the output should
  expand to fill the window size, so you can read more than one line of
  what's happening.
