Bug Description
This happens on the latest GNOME Software 3.34.2 on Ubuntu Focal. When an app is (also) available in Snap Store, its sources showed in the "Sources" drop-down list in window header on app details page are behaving strangely:
- When an app is available both in the Ubuntu repository and in Snap, default source displayed is "Ubuntu" although the actual details page displayed is for Snap version.
- When clicking the drop-down list and selecting a Snap source, the Ubuntu source disappears.
- When clicking the drop-down list and selecting an Ubuntu source, the whole drop-down list (so basically all Snap sources) disappears.
- Default source is displayed as "Ubuntu" even for apps that are not available in Ubuntu repositories, only in Snap Store (for example the powershell).
This was in GS log, however I am not sure if it is related to this issue:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
