Presenting available updates works as intended. It is the embedded terminal window during applying updates that is broken.
This broken behavior has been present since at least 17.04 alpha/beta, and is present in 17.10 and 18.04. I haven't tried 16.10 but this was working in 16.04. I have only tested this on Ubuntu Mate, so I don't know if software- updater behaves differently on other flavours. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690541 Title: Scrolled windows in update-manager are too small to read To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/aptdaemon/+bug/1690541/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
