Software Updater in 16.10 has only half line details text area

Asked by nohk.two

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 and run the Software Updater. It found some updates, the I allow it to install them and hit the details. But the details text area has just 0.5 line height of the whole text area.

Like below I draw as ASCII. (please use mono-space font to view it. The text area has only half line (well, I can't draw half height ascii characters here) all the rest are dialog background (while text area background is white).

Forget the ASCII draw, the system compressed all spaces. I have a screenshot link here <https://www.dropbox.com/s/jv8wuascxawesoz/swupd.jpg?dl=1>.
