Bug Description
The title says it all. When update-manager fails, you get a dialogue box with a button marked 'details'. Click on that and you get a tiny area that can contain hundreds of lines of messages, and the scroll bar really doesn't work on such a tiny area. It makes it a real task to work out what has failed.
