String used (happened to be in clipboard) should be attached, as it
doesn't fit here when trying to file the bug report on Launchpad, but
given the suspicous length of 65536 bytes, it's likely that any string
will do.
Ideally, Software Centre should not resize its window in response to
unrelated input.
