[Bug 1635566] [NEW] graphical upgrade/ terminal drop-down fails

[pierre-philipp braun]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

When doing a graphical release upgrade (16.04 to 16.10), you click on
the terminal drop-down to see some details.  Once the upgrade processes
advances, it then prompts for packages configurations or validations
into the built-in terminal.  Then if you click again on the drop-down
arrow to hide and show the terminal, it just reduces the terminal size
into a two line view of the terminal, being able to read "Package
configuration" and an empty line (terminal arrow to the bottom).  The
user is stuck in the upgrade process as he cannot read what he is
prompted about.
