STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Discover when the system have pending updates 2. Navigate to "Updates" tab at the left menu at the bottom OBSERVED RESULT * Each item of list have a "More information" button * This buttons is discoverable only when I click the item of the list. * Click into the item of the list -> toggle the visibility of "more information" button * If I press the "more information" button, one pane is showed with the detailed information of this item of list. * If i click in other item of the list, the information of detailed pane isn't of this item of the list, else the information of the latest "more information" button pressed. If i want to view the detailed information for other item of the list, I should click into the item and click into the "more information" button. EXPECTED RESULT My suggest is: * Remove the "More information" button * When I press into any place of an item of the list, the detailed information will be showed * If i press in other item of the list, the detailed information will show the information of latest item pressed SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.18 KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 Kernel Version: 5.3.0-51-generic OS Type: 64-bit Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ i5-4278U CPU @ 2.60GHz Memory: 15,5 GiB ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is my first issue reported. I have searched into the issues pending and I don't have found anything similar. If exists, sorry for this issue, and we can redirect to that. 1931897 1 aleixpol 2020-05-22 15:57:16 +0000 Yes, I agree. The thing is that the delegate is prepared to show the changelog for applications but they usually don't offer such changelog so we see a sad empty space. This could very well use some love. 1935877 2 nate 2020-06-10 21:30:53 +0000 Backends that currently do show changelogs already behave like this. I think the "More information" button/page are broadly useless and could just be removed. None of the information there is useful or actionable. 1935880 3 nate 2020-06-10 21:33:23 +0000 I'll work on this. 1936204 4 nate 2020-06-11 17:12:33 +0000 This should do it: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/9 2023346 5 nate 2021-04-07 20:14:50 +0000 My merge request was rejected, so we need to think of an alternative. 2410538 6 bug-janitor 2025-03-25 19:40:52 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/merge_requests/1067 2410720 7 isma.af 2025-03-26 08:00:52 +0000 Git commit f9310e059b0482b6c4cdb04d799cd6c52c1c664c by Ismael Asensio.

PackageKit: Fix connection for update details Otherwise, the front-end requests for update details are not processed when they should. Instead, these transactions were attached to requests for package details. In practice, this solves two issues: - more responsive to show the changelog info when expanding an entry - the package details on the background are updated faster, including versions involved, since there are less unnecessary transactions Related: bug 434936 FIXED-IN: 6.3.4 M +1 -1 libdiscover/backends/PackageKitBackend/PackageKitBackend.cpp https://invent.kde.org/plasma/discover/-/commit/f9310e059b0482b6c4cdb04d799cd6c52c1c664c 2410737 8 isma.af 2025-03-26 08:50:43 +0000 Git commit 5d490c18c3c5432ba62e174d07bd3e2164457085 by Ismael Asensio.
