Bug Description

1. Begin installing Ubuntu.
2. When the progress bar appears, click the expander.

What you see: Light grey text, on a black background, in a monospace font, with a blinking caret.

A usability test participant described this: "It exposed something, looks to me like I can edit it, it is a bit scary."

What you should see: Black text, on a light grey background, in a proportional font, with no caret.
