Bug Description

Binary package hint: update-manager

When the "Applying Changes" window is open and, well, changes are being applied, the line of text underneath the progress bar showing the operation currently being run is partially italicised. The italicised text seems to be defined as either a fixed rectangle or a fixed number of characters, rather than anything more logical, as with certain text values the change from italic to normal text occurs in the middle of a word or a package name. Two screenshots attached to demonstrate.
