Bug Description
1. Begin installing Ubuntu.
2. When the progress bar appears, click the expander.
What you see: Light grey text, on a black background, in a monospace font, with a blinking caret.
A usability test participant described this: "It exposed something, looks to me like I can edit it, it is a bit scary."
What you should see: Black text, on a light grey background, in a proportional font, with no caret.

I always wondered why should a user-friendly installer needs a terminal-styled box to show details. Confirming.
