Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: update-manager
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System ->
About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
Alpha 6 (currently up-to-date)
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename'
or by checking in Synaptic.
update-manager:
Installed: 1:0.93.17
Candidate: 1:0.93.17
Version table:
*** 1:0.93.17 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
3) What you expected to happen
The list items should be clean and clear and not meshed together.
4) What happened instead
The list items for updates are occasionally crammed together and the height of
each item is smaller than it normally should be, making the list look terrible
and almost unreadable (for the descriptions).
One solution that I have found if I open Update Manager and the list
appears in this way is to close Update Manager and reopen it. This
typically resolves the problem and the list appears fine and with no
abnormalities.
I've attached screenshots of what I am talking about.

Also, in that forum thread about this bug, forumache says it may be triggered
by the following:
"I think (not at home right now) that, if I remember correctly, I can trigger
it in a simple way: once it displays updates (looking fine), just press "Check
for updates" again. The resulting display will look like the picture."

Update Manager list items are messy and chopped short in height.
