[Bug 1623856] Re: Scrolled Windows in update-manager are too small to read

[Scott Cowles Jacobs]

I don't know if it is a regression, or just the fix not totally fixing
the problem...

At least some of the time, I get very few lines of download progress,
even when maximized, and even if maximized, the install details don't
seem to occupy more than 1/2 the possible height.

At least once, I had just the one (partial) line for download detail.

If I recall correctly, one CANNOT maximize until "details" is clicked upon, 
I think (I cannot verify any of this until the next time that there are multiple packages to update) that if I wait to long to hit "details" and "maximize" that I get VERY few lines of install detail.

I STILL wish there were a way to config this to ALWAYS SHOW DETAILS and
ALWAYS maximise the download/install window.

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

Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in aptdaemon source package in Yakkety:
  Confirmed
Status in update-manager source package in Yakkety:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

    * Expanding the scrolled windows for download progress or technical
  details in update-manager are just one line high, making them
  unreadable.

  [ Test Case ]

    * Install Ubuntu 16.10 final or 17.04 daily.
    * Open update-manager and wait for it to refresh.
    * Expand the technical details, you'll see the scrolled window is just one line high. (This exercises update-manager)
    * Install the updates, expand the Details while updates are downloaded.  Again you'll see the scrolled window is just one line high. (This exercises aptdaemon.gtk3widgets)

  After installing the patched aptdaemon and update-manager packages
  following the same steps will result in both scrolled windows
  defaulting to several lines of readable output.

  [ Regression Potential ]

    * None.
    * racb: a mistake in the patch could cause the window appearance to screw up in some other way.
