Title:
Other Software now displays the Suites instead of the Comments
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
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.
