Bug#562233: update-manager-gnome: window widens beyond screen width after clicking an upgrade item

[Mark Hedges]

Package: update-manager-gnome
Version: 0.200.0-1
Severity: minor


I have a 1024x768 laptop screen.  When I click the update-manager
applet icon, the window is initially sized correctly, occupying
the available desktop space.  But when I click on the name of a
package in the list of available upgrades, the window widens to
the right, bigger than the available screen space.  The funny thing
is, there's no text in the package name, changelog or description
panel that needs to occupy that space.  Try running it with your
screen resolution set to 1024x768.  This has been a bug for quite
a long time.  Thanks.  --mark--
