Comment 0 for bug 1058772

Software Updater asked me if I want to install 124 MB of "updated software". Since I am interested in knowing more about this proposition than merely the amout of data that will be transferred, I clicked "Details of updates". Instead of showing me details of the updates, Software Updater displayed a single generic heading and half of the name of one update.

Even worse, when I click on "Technical description" to view what I hope might finally contain details about the updates, the dysfunctionally tiny pane shrinks even more—it now shows *no* updates—and a new pane appears which tells me what version of something is currently installed.

Screenshots are attached.
