[Bug 1069059] [NEW] [dist-upgrade] List of new/removed/upgraded packages does not fit on screen

[Marcus Comstedt]

Public bug reported:

On my AC100 (screen resolution 1024x600), the list of changes to the
packages when doing a dist-upgrade to Q expanded below the bottom edge
of the screen.  This made it impossible to read the last couple of lines
even if scrolling as far down as possible.  It wasn't possible to make
the window smaller, which didn't make any sense because if I had just
been allowed to size down the treeview (the only UI component with
flexible size in the window) there would have been plenty of lines still
visible.

Also, it didn't seem possible to copy the list to the clipboard, from
whence it could have been pasted into e.g. Emacs where I could have
inspected it (and even searched it) without any worries about entries
appearing outside the screen...
