Initial view (single content pane)

Multiple content panes
There is a back button in the toolbar that you can click. Hi, The back button in the tool bar is greyed out. So no easy way to get the initial view(Initial view attachment) from changed view(Multiple content panes attachment). In Update section there is no back button in the toolbar. So no easy way from (please see) "Changed update view attachment" to get the (please see) "Inital update view attachment". There is no back button in "Changed update view attachment" in particular. Thanks. Created attachment 136838 [details]

Changed update view
Those new sets of screenshots don't show a problem: there is no need for a back button because the only view you could go back to is still visible. Could yo maybe attach a screen recording that shows the problem? I'm afraid I still don't understand what it is. Thanks! I attached a video showing the problem. When I install updates, I compare the installed version to available version of all packages. If I want to know about "Fuzzy Clock" package I will click "More Information" button, then the info is displayed. After that if I want to scroll back to other packages below "Fuzzy Clock", I cannot see the installed version of packages and available version is also not shown fully. To get the full details I have to go to "About" section & come back to "Update" page & scroll back to "Fuzzy Clock" package to start comparing the package versions, which is not easy. It is not a big issue but it is inconvenient. Also when I restore the window when in info page, I can click the back button & I can see only the available version string fully.

discover video
Thanks for the video but I still don't see what the problem is. I understand that you would like to be able to close the second view that appears. But why? The previous one is still visible and still interactive. > The previous one is still visible and still interactive.
Yes, the previous view is visible, but the version of packages "4:5.21.3-0xneon+20.04+focal+build22 -> 4:5.21.3-0xneon+20.04+focal+release+build23" is shown as "...on+20.04+focal+release+build23"
The full version of above text is not shown when the second view appears.
I see, that does seem like a problem. *** Bug 447879 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 475963 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Git commit de76132931a1484cc023287729b0db6332e65776 by Nate Graham, on behalf of Rahul Vadhyar. Committed on 02/01/2025 at 17:50. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Don't show more than 2 columns in wide view This is as per the recommendation in #27. The three column mode just does not work that well here.
