Bug Description
Some critical dialog boxes are not resizable.
Most importantly, the dialog box which allows you to view the diff when a package tries to install an updated version of a modified config file.
The example I had last only showed me two or three lines of a huge diff at a time.. certainly insufficient to review the changes properly.
Also annoyingly, the install dialog is not resizable, even when the terminal window showing the update is expanded.
This poor dialog usability through lack of resizing reminds me far too strongly of Windows.
