[Bug 1847479] Re: update-manager window expands off-screen (which effectively stops distribution upgrade)

[arQon]

No, you can't. The window EXPANDS to where it's unusable, but then
doesn't resize back DOWN when you toggle details back off.

The only way out is to kill update-manager (which doesn't even have a
Close icon, so you also have to know that you can do it from the main
menu, which some distros are now disabling by default, so then you're
looking at the terminal for it. :P)

Title:
  update-manager window expands off-screen (which effectively stops
  distribution upgrade)

Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Attempted to update to Ubuntu 19.10 using:
  update-manager -d

  Update-manager asks "Do you want to start the upgrade?" and summarizes
  packages to be removed/downloaded.

  Clicking to show the details expands the window beyond the size of my
  screen (1280x800) so that I can't access the "Start Upgrade" button,
  effectively stopping the upgrade.
