Public bug reported: If apt-listchanges is configured to show package changelogs, update- manager displays them in 'less' in a hidden terminal which waits for the user to quit and continue. There is no indication in update-manager that something off-screen is waiting for input. The only status message reads "Applying changes".
To continue, the user must click 'Details' then interact with apt- listchanges in the terminal. Screenshots attached.
