Public bug reported:
When reporting a bug, the Apport window has a "Content of the report"
text area that is not shown by default but can be opened. When opening
this text area, the vertical space used is very small meaning that only
two lines of text are visible at a time. This makes it difficult to read
the content, let alone scroll through it.
Steps to reproduce
1. Start Apport by typing ubuntu-bug <some package or other> in a terminal
2. When the Apport window appears, click on the triangle next to the "Content
of the report" label to expand the box
Expected behaviour
When opening the text box, the box should expand vertically (and hence force
the window to expand vertically too) so that more lines are visible at a time
and scrolling within the text area is not impaired.
Actual behaviour
The text area opens with a very sort height meaning that it is very difficult
to read the content and scroll through it. See the attached screenshot.
