Gdebi 0.9.5.7 doesn't show required dependencies list on non Xubuntu Session than a line.

[John Doe]

I've tried both Ubuntu Minimal+XFCE & Xubuntu 16.04
This gravely affect of XFCE, Openbox session on Ubuntu 16.04.
However this doesn't happen on Xubuntu 16.04 Session at all it shows dependencies list normally
But on XFCE, Openbox session it only shows a line.

We need more tester to confirm other session as well such as:
Unity, Ubuntu, KDE, Kubuntu, lxde, lxde, Lubuntu, Edubuntu, Mythbuntu,
To confirm if it's only affect on non-Ubuntu flavor Sessions.
or are they affect to all Sessions Except Xubuntu Session?

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

I have the same problem, Unity session on ubuntu 16.04. If you can, please fix it , it's really annoying that one of your favourite app doesn't work on fresh system as it did in previous.

See comment #3 from Faissal Chamekh on duplicate 1581425 :

modify gdebi.ui mostly solves this issue in ubuntu 16.04 w/ unity.

Soon 7 years later, no improvement ?

On 22.04 the part of window showing needed dependencies won't resize, only 3~4 lines displayed.

Same kind of readability issues in « Users and Groups ( provided by gnome-system-tools )
