[Bug 2060915] [NEW] Comments in source files flood "other software"

[Nathan Teodosio]

Public bug reported:

Reproduction case:

Add the attached source file to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/. You don't need
to 'apt update' for this test.

Open software-properties-gtk.

Issue:

All the comments at the top of the file are displayed, flooding the
interface.

Limiting the number of comment lines displayed and only displaying the
full comments in a tool tip (GTK.Tree has a couple of set_tooltip
functions) may result in a better user interface.

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
