Bug Description
Binary package hint: update-manager
1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu.
Description: Ubuntu intrepid (development branch)
Release: 8.10
Alpha 6 (currently up-to-date)
2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy packagename' or by checking in Synaptic.
update-manager:
Installed: 1:0.93.17
Candidate: 1:0.93.17
Version table:
*** 1:0.93.17 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
3) What you expected to happen
The list items should be clean and clear and not meshed together.
4) What happened instead
The list items for updates are occasionally crammed together and the height of each item is smaller than it normally should be, making the list look terrible and almost unreadable (for the descriptions).
One solution that I have found if I open Update Manager and the list appears in this way is to close Update Manager and reopen it. This typically resolves the problem and the list appears fine and with no abnormalities.
I've attached screenshots of what I am talking about.

Also, in that forum thread about this bug, forumache says it may be triggered by the following:
"I think (not at home right now) that, if I remember correctly, I can trigger it in a simple way: once it displays updates (looking fine), just press "Check for updates" again. The resulting display will look like the picture."

I have also experienced this issue, although I have no way to reproduce it reliably. It seems to only happen occasionally.
