[Bug 2063484] Re: Other Software now displays the Suites instead of the Comments

** Description changed:

  Since updating from Ubuntu 24.04 (from 23.10), software-properties-gtk
  shows the wrong field in the UI for Other Software.
  
  Where it should show the Comment field, it shows the Suites field. It
  only does it if there is a value in Comment though.
  
  For instance, imagine I have Inkscape PPA as a software source, with the
  Suites “hirsute” and the Comment “Inkscape”. In the UI, it will show
  “hirsute” instead of “Inkscape” as a title like it used to do. If I
  empty the Comment field, it does remove the title and “hirsute” is not
  displayed.
  
  One more thing from the upgrade: all the Comment fields’ content got
  lost in the process. So I have no some sources that I can’t remember why
  I had installed, even though I have software coming from them, which I
  had indicated in Comment.
+ 
+ This has been working well for the past 10-15 years, so it’s definitely
+ a mistake that has been introduced with the new version. The field edit
+ dialogue has changed a little bit, so I’m guessing that change
+ introduced the bug.
