Public bug reported:
When switching to the "Additional Drivers" tab in `software-properties-
gtk`, the list of available drivers is duplicated every time the tab is
changed. This results in multiple copies of the same driver options
appearing in the interface.
---
**Steps to Reproduce:**
1. Open terminal and run:
```
software-properties-gtk --open-tab=4
```
2. Switch to a different tab (e.g., "Ubuntu Software") and then return to
"Additional Drivers".
3. Observe that the list of drivers is duplicated.
4. Repeat the process — the list duplicates again with every tab switch.
---
**Expected Behavior:**
The driver list should remain clean and update only once. Switching tabs should
not re-render additional copies of the existing list.
**Actual Behavior:**
Each time the "Additional Drivers" tab is opened, it adds another full set of
the same drivers already shown. Even the "currently in use" driver is
duplicated in each copy.

**System Information:**
* **OS:** Ubuntu 25.04
* **Package:** `software-properties-gtk`
* **Display server:** Wayland
* **Graphics driver in use:** NVidia 570
* **Observed consistently:** Yes, always reproducible.
---
**Additional Notes:**
* Behavior affects usability and may confuse users when selecting or changing
drivers.
* A video demonstration is available if needed.
** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
