The 'partial upgrade' window (/usr/lib/ubuntu-release-upgrader/do-partial-upgrade --frontend=DistUpgradeViewGtk3) has a 'details' twisty in it. If you open the twisty you get details about packages to be installed/removed/upgraded. Opening the twisty makes the window taller; if you open the twisty on a 768px screen (like the 1366x768 screen on my Dell XPS 13), the window is taller than the screen and the Cancel/Start Upgrade buttons are pushed offscreen.
To reproduce:
1) On a computer w/ 768px tall monitor, open the software updater
2) Perform a dist upgrade (in my case, the updater said I can only do a partial upgrade so I chose that option)
3) A window appears with the text, "Do you want to start the upgrade"
4) Click the 'Details' twisty to expand it
Expected results:
The details twisty opens but the window remains small enough to stay onscreen
Actual results:
The details twisty opens and the window is resized so that it is too tall to fit onscreen

VarLogDistupgradeTermlog:
Clicking on "Details" again does not make the window any smaller either, leaving a very large, mostly empty window.
