Problem with software updater Xubuntu 18.04_2

[James Robinson]

Hi All,

I use almost exclusively Xubuntu LTS versions in various forms. Both as 
servers and desktop. But I am noticing a return of an irritating problem 
that existed in 16.04 which seemed to be fixed but has now reappeared in 
18.04-2.

When using software updater the resize option is greyed out so the size 
of the window is small which is is irritating because I capture the 
screen to save in my log files.

In 18.04LTS this was also a problem but seemed to be able to get round 
the problem by using a certain sequence of commands but in 18.04-2 LTS  
I just cannot reproduce the code sequence that I thought solved the problem.

I know that this is not a major problem but is highly irritating.

Similarly there is a problem in

Users & Groups when I select groups the list of users reduces to 2 lines 
i.e. not very practical with 20 users.

Best Wishes

Jim
