[Bug 1690541] Re: Scrolled windows in update-manager are too small to read

[Dennis L.]

I can confirm that the embedded installation progress terminal frame now expands as expected. For the last three runs of update-manager (that took long enough to be able to open the detailed view) the terminal has the correct size.
However the download progress does not. It now shows five lines for downloading packages but when expanding the entire window the download progress frame does not expand together with the window (in vertical direction) but stays at the five lines size.

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

Status in aptdaemon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in aptdaemon source package in Artful:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  When you expand the details window and packages are being prepared and configured the Vte terminal is only one line high so can't see what is going on at all.

  [Test Case]
  1) Install artful w/o updates
  2) Run update-manager
  3) Expand the details window after packages have downloaded (if you the Vte terminal is more than one line high then close the detail and open it again)

  With the version of the package from -proposed the details window will
  be many lines high and you will see stuff.

  [Regression Potential]
  Little as we are just setting vexpand and hexpand to True for the widget.

  Original Description
  --------------------
  In update-manager, scrolled windows do not expand properly. Many times, the display will only be one line. I see it on the download progress view, the install details (terminal-like) view, and would-you-like-to-keep-or-replace config differences view. In each one, the details window does not expand to the full height of the window. If the expansion hasn't been done at all, the view will only be one line high, but in the download progress view, it can sometimes be half-height.

  Prior reports (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-
  manager/+bug/1623856) indicate that it has been fixed, but that is not
  the case, and in the prior "fixed" report, the maintainer asked that a
  new bug be created.

  It is very difficult to get screenshots because the window only
  appears for a short time, but I have attached one such screenshot
  below.

  Versions:
  Ubuntu: Zesty
  update-manager: 1:17.04.3
  aptdaemon: 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu17
