Public bug reported: 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. I don't remember at the moment but I believe I have also seen this same issue on my "ordinary" sized laptop screen, but 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. I just ran ubuntu-bug while upgrading xubuntu from 19.10 to 20.04.
