[Bug 1690541] Re: Scrolled windows in update-manager are too small to read

[Beren]

Presenting available updates works as intended. It is the embedded
terminal window during applying updates that is broken.

This broken behavior has been present since at least 17.04 alpha/beta,
and is present in 17.10 and 18.04. I haven't tried 16.10 but this was
working in 16.04.

I have only tested this on Ubuntu Mate, so I don't know if software-
updater behaves differently on other flavours.

Title:
  Scrolled windows in update-manager are too small to read

Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In update-manager, scrolled windows do not expand properly. Many
  times, the display will only be one line. I see it on the download
  progress view, the install details (terminal-like) view, and would-
  you-like-to-keep-or-replace config differences view. In each one, the
  details window does not expand to the full height of the window. If
  the expansion hasn't been done at all, the view will only be one line
  high, but in the download progress view, it can sometimes be half-
  height.

  Prior reports (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
  manager/+bug/1623856) indicate that it has been fixed, but that is not
  the case, and in the prior "fixed" report, the maintainer asked that a
  new bug be created.

  It is very difficult to get screenshots because the window only
  appears for a short time, but I have attached one such screenshot
  below.

  Versions:
  Ubuntu: Zesty
  update-manager: 1:17.04.3
  aptdaemon: 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu17
