The details pane of the Updates dialog is too small (only one line). If the fotn selected is large or the text is long you will get scrollbars very quickly.

The code that displays this is org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.ReviewPage. It puts a sash between the list and the details, and sets the ratio to be 10:2, which is acceptable for most uses. 

Since the full text is accessible via the scrollbars, and the area can be made larger using the sash, and a correct fix would require us to know what strings are being displayed (which would be difficult given the way the page is created), we are marking this WONTFIX.
