dialog to resolve config file conflicts can be only one line high

Perhaps this should have been fixed in the following class:

class _DetailsExpanderMessageDialog(_ExpandableDialog):
    """
    Common base class for Apt*Dialog
    """

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This bug was fixed in the package aptdaemon - 1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu19

---------------
aptdaemon (1.1.1+bzr982-0ubuntu19) bionic; urgency=medium

  * d/p/lp1690541-details-open-twice.patch: Indicate that the AptTerminal
    widget would like extra space so we can see more terminal output.
