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

[Dennis L.]

Thanks to a larger package download I could make screenshots of the downloading progress.
The first one shows the default window size, the second one shows the same window after resizing the window vertically (increased size). 
The download list remains at a constant vertical size even with a larger window.

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
