[Bug 1623856] Re: Scrolled Windows in update-manager are too small to read

[Oliver Becker]

I still have the problem too with 17.04 Beta 2

As I am currently working with QT, isn't there just a simple option like
"anchors.fill: parent" so it will scale responsively with the main window?

I don't like the idea of having a fixed size.
Currently if you do an update with the updadate manger the overview window
for downloads inside the update manager window will have a fixed size. 
You can't make it bigger or smaller.
However when it goes from download to install as you can see the terminal window
inside the update mangager window, you can make the window smaller but
it will not scale bigger again.

So yeah, isn't there a just a anchor with margin?


PS: Somehow it is pretty hard to get the "enlarge/shorten" mouse icon to show up
if you go to the corner of the update manager window to scale it.
Sure you could use "alt + middle mouse button" to scale the window 
but not everyone knows of this hotkey

Bug description:
  [Impact]

    * Expanding the scrolled windows for download progress or technical
  details in update-manager are just one line high, making them
  unreadable.

  [ Test Case ]

    * Install Ubuntu 16.10 final or 17.04 daily.
    * Open update-manager and wait for it to refresh.
    * Select an update from the "Details of updates" section
    * Then expand the "Technical description", you'll see the scrolled window is just one line high. (This exercises update-manager)
    * Choose to install an update, preferably a large one, and click "Install"
    * While the update(s) are downloading click the "Details" expander
    * You'll see the scrolled window is just one line high. (This exercises aptdaemon)

  After installing the patched aptdaemon and update-manager packages
  following the same steps will result in both scrolled windows
  defaulting to several lines of readable output.

  [ Regression Potential ]

    * None.
    * racb: a mistake in the patch could cause the window appearance to screw up in some other way.
