The short description of many packages is too long to fit in the small window of the update manager. As an example I attached a screenshot from today. As you can see there, some "Free implementation of the...." is updated multiple times. The difference is just: - Ope - EGL - EGL-A - GL-A and the rest is truncated. I hardly believe that any user (casual, heavy) think that these description stubs are more informative, than just the package names. The description stubs are more like a riddle what gets updated.
Please display again the package names! Than you can get at least a glimpse what gets updated. For more information the technical description can be used. ** Attachment added: "update-desc.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/655998/+attachment/3709718/+files/update-desc.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655998 Title: Update Manager Listing should NOT use descriptions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/655998/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
