ImportInstall Dialog on Mac

When the install new software dialog reports any error, the details field does not show any scroll bar for the user to browse through the error. 

The attached screenshot shows the UI where the scrollbar is not visible for the error details section.

Similarly, on Windows platform, the details section shows only one line of the error though it could be improved for better visibility.

It's a common issue, import wizard shares the error reporting page with install process.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
