Me, too. I've seen this before, and fixed it by rolling in a patch someone proposed last time it was seen (about 15.04/15.10?). Now it's happening again on 17.10, so I suspect the fix, which had later rolled into some python support package, has come unstuck in a more recent revision. Actually it began affecting this machine some time before 17.10, but I was hoping the 17.10 rollout would banish the problem. Not so. 1:17.10.11 still gives me a 1-line terminal window.
I've just tried removing/purging/adding update-manager(-core) and all that depend on it, then downgrading/upgrading a package to see if the terminal window's height was restored. Nope, it's not that easy. I'll keep hunting, but later. >From memory, it was failing to do a sanity check on a cached window-size >property found in some ~/.gconf/.../%gconf.xml, but I can't find anything >likely. Could now be a different problem. I suspect everything works fine until accidental resize below some threshold size causes the small size to stick. I recall thinking that a bounds check might be backward, intending to protect against too-small, but instead /latching/ the too-small condition. But I don't recall if the previous fix actually matched that hypothesis -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736074 Title: terminal window in update-manager does not resize correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/1736074/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
