Hello,

Sorry, for silence. I forgot to answer.

Yes, horizontal scrollbar is an enhancement. That will at least make
people understand that they window can fit the text. And if they
reduce window size, they wont be surprise by seeing end of line
becomine half lines. (wish you understand).

That's the point : currently ChangeLog aren't designed to fit
windows. So te windows have to fit Changelog width. Luckely, this is
not annoying. (e.g. Evolution preference windows width was annoying
for small screen, ChangeLogs do not). A 300 pixels width dialog is
not annoying users.

But the best (for the future) is to use translatable string that fit
windows width. Both for Changes and Description. Those limitations
are upstream : deb, ChangeLog. Not update-manager guilt.

Étienne.
