Title:
  Additional Drivers window is multiplying the number of drivers in the
  list with each tab change

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  When we click on the "Additional Drivers" tab, we see the list of drivers.
  When we switch to any other tab on the "Software & Updates" screen and return to the "Additional Drivers" screen, the list grows, with duplicate data.
