Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
See attached screenshot. The problem seems to be that not enough vertical space is given for each update, so the short description gets cut off.
I think this started with the 1:0.93.7 update, but I can't say for sure. I have fonts rendering at 72 dpi (set in Appearance -> Fonts -> Details) because I have a lowly 1024x768 screen, this might impact this.
When I first updated, the layout looked similar to what you see no matter what I did. To troubleshoot, I set my dpi back to 96, which expanded the window and corrected the problem. Switching back to 72 dpi seemed to correct the layout problem.
Now, when I first fire up Update Manager, the layout is correct. However, after I ran "Check" today, the layout switched to what you see in the attached screenshot.
Thanks for your bugreport.
This seems to work for me, what theme, xorg driver are you using? I have seen issues like this with xorg drivers.
