  -------
- 
- I did an update today and the error popup is too small to read the error
- message. One of my packages failed to install and I got this error:
- 
-     Package operation failed
-     The installation or removal of a software package failed.
- 
- The details text field is only 3 lines tall, so it's difficult to read
- the 30 lines of error text. The popup window cannot be resized.
- 
- It looks like the faenza-icon-theme failed to update (from LP-PPA-
- tiheum-equinox).
+ The window that Update Manager shows when an error happens is not resizable, which makes it very hard to read the error message. See attached screenshot.
