[Bug 1846474] Re: Distribution Upgrade unusable on low-res displays

[arQon]

IDK why launchpad insists on filling in the Package field incorrectly
every time I file a bug! I expect firefox is actually to blame and has
decided to autofill things. Sorry about that.

** Package changed: marco (Ubuntu) => update-manager (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Distribution Upgrade unusable on low-res displays

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When performing a distribution upgrade, update-manager initially
  presents a usable (though badly-sized) window. Clicking the "Details"
  button though resizes that window (by, I'm guessing, the vertical
  space needed for the new information) and pushes the window's buttons
  off the bottom of the screen.

  The window cannot be moved up, because the titlebar blocks that; and
  it can't be resized vertically either. The end result is that there is
  no way to see the buttons, no way for mouse users to click them, and
  no way for the user to either continue or abort the upgrade other than
  by guessing at which button MIGHT be highlighted if they TAB around
  blindly.

  This bug is present in the updaters used for (at least) both 19.04 and
  19.10.
