Nothing ever calls "begin_user_resizable" in UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py, which is probably an oversight.
Simply killing off the self.set_resizable(False) in end_user_resizable() makes things work; there's really no need to make the window a fixed size, nothing breaks, and it makes monitor progress during download and install much more straightforward than with a fixed-size window. Of course, being gnome software, there's no chance that a straightforward hack will ever be applied, preferring to leave things broken in a less useful manner until a "proper" fix can be developed (which won't happen, instead in 4 years someone will write a replacement with another set of broken features, and so the lifecycle of free software continues). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1321088 Title: Window is not resizable reducing ability to read "Details of updates" and "Technical description" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1321088/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
