[Bug 2085720] Re: Ubuntu Software & Updates not showing comment

[hife]

It turns out, comments up to 79 characters do not show up. Comments from
80 characters will show up. I assume this is the limit when ellipses
start showing up.

** Description changed:

  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1) Add any PPA to your system.
  
  2) In software-properties-gtk in the "Other Software" tab, find the PPA,
- click edit, add a comment and confirm.
+ click edit, add a comment (shorter than 80 characters) and confirm.
  
  Resulting behaviour:
  
  1) The source is now shown in two lines, the first line starts with a
  space and then shows the contents of the "suits" field, the second line
  the URL. Comment and components are not shown.
  
  Expected behaviour:
  
  1) The comment is shown in the first line followed by suits and
  components.
