One of the options how this could be done

When you in the "two panes" view mode and click on some of the application items on the right hand side pane, it opens a 3rd pane on a right hand side  with details about that application. 

But there's no UI option to close that pane and return back to "two panes" view - only a keyboard one (to press ESC). This is a big miss for mouse-only / touch-only / whatever disabled users who cannot use keyboard all the time.

I think this is a plasma-discover bug because that program needs to implement this.

I can also reproduce this.

Closing. Discover now only shows two panes when you click on an apps info page, and a back button is now present.

Had a poke around settings to see if this was configurable, i.e. can you switch from 2 pane view to 3 pane view - Couldn't find anything.
