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

[Martin Wimpress]

** Summary changed:

- Updated gtk element means you need to specify a size on the details drop down or it is only 1 line high
+ Scrolled Windows in update-manager are too small to read

** Description changed:

- STEPS:
- 1. install 16.10
- 2. open software-updater
- 3. when clicking on update click on the details drop down
+ [Impact]
  
- EXPECTED:
- I expect to see 5-6 lines of test that is scrollable
+   * Expanding the scrolled windows for download progress or technical
+ details in update-manager are just one line high, making them
+ unreadable.
  
- ACTUAL:
- You get a single line that doesn't seem to scroll
+ [ 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.
+   * Install the updates, expand the Details while updates are downloaded. Again you'll see the scrolled window is just one line high.
+ 
+ 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.
+ 
+ [ Other Info ]
