[Bug 922550] [NEW] Papercut: when update-manager fails, the 'details' area is tiny, making it impossible to read

[steven at pemberton.nl]

Public bug reported:

The title says it all. When update-manager fails, you get a dialogue box
with a button marked 'details'. Click on that and you get a tiny area
that can contain hundreds of lines of messages, and the scroll bar
really doesn't work on such a tiny area. It makes it a real task to work
out what has failed.
