A heading with nothing waiting starts closed, so press expand all to see the failed journal vacuum and the executed disk measurement. The waiting heading stays open on its own. The bar still says 1 awaiting approval. Reject all is on the machine heading, so it is not on this view. Set the menu back to machine to see one heading, and that button, again.
