[Bug 13191] Re: Can't see details/descriptions of updates anymore

It seems pretty odd that I'm reporting a bug that was apparently fixed many years ago, but the description of the original report matches pretty closely to what I'm seeing. The Update Manager renders a row for each package being updated, with a little black right-pointing arrow, making it seem lik

Unfortunately, now since I did something to "fix" the desktop entry, even if I change it back so the "Name" property isn't first, it won't display the problem anymore. I even tried copying one of them to a new file with a different name, with the "Name" property not first, and that works also. --
