A workaround that works for me under Unity is to double-click the title- bar - which causes the window to maximise. In its maximised state it has the three window operator buttons (close, minimise, restore/maximise). Hit restore and the window will pop back to its previous size, but now be resizable.
Prior to the workaround the title-bar only has two operator buttons (close, minimise), after maximising it acquires the third and resizability. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1301776 Title: Update manager is really small and not resizeable Status in Unity: In Progress Status in Unity 7.2 series: In Progress Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz” source package in Trusty: Triaged Status in “update-manager” source package in Trusty: Invalid Bug description: update-manager 1:0.196.9, Ubuntu Trusty Update manager's window, and especially its fields inside the window, are way too small and also it's not resizeable, making it almost useless at least on my HiDPI screen (3200 x 1800). https://launchpadlibrarian.net/171657786/update-manager-is-small.png <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#expanded>: "The Updates Available window should be manually resizable only when it is in this expanded state."
