[Bug 1887993] Re: packages confirmation dialog too tall

[Tommy Trussell]

I was just upgrading to Mantic and it hit me again, but this time I
noticed the dialog wasn't too tall UNTIL I clicked items in the list of
changes (Install, No longer needed, No longer supported by Canonical,
Remove, and Upgrade)

Maybe most folks don't look at the list?


One frustrating thing (besides the "too tall" bug in the first place) is the window got big, but the little box with the list STAYED THE SAME SIZE!!! SO even though the window is too tall the list is hard to read because the box is only a bit taller than the contents with all of the items collapsed.

Title:
  packages confirmation dialog too tall

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Every time I upgrade to a new release of ubuntu on this netbook
  (screen size 1024x600)* the upgrader churns away collecting its
  information and then when it presents the dialog with the packages to
  remove, not upgradeable, and packages to upgrade.

  UNFORTUNATELY the buttons at the bottom of the dialog are not visible
  because there's WAY too much empty space in the dialog. I have to know
  to alt-drag the dialog up to get to the buttons. The dialog gets even
  bigger when I open the right-triangles to look at the lists, and does
  not shrink when I collapse the lists again. I would hope the dialog
  could better handle a short netbook screen.

  The buttons on the dialog start out at a good size but the dialog gets
  too tall after opening the lists as described above. The dialog does
  not shrink itself to fit the screen.

  *NOTE Since I first filed this bug on a small resolution Netbook, I
  have since also seen the problem on an ordinary Lenovo laptop,
  resolution 1366x768.

  I just ran ubuntu-bug while upgrading xubuntu from 19.10 to 20.04.
