Description Felix Miata 2011-08-05 15:51:45 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #674919 +++

Version information is useless during installation, while summary column, arguably the most important information about a package, initializes much too narrow, and often springs back to the narrow initial width while attempting to adjust it or other columns.

It would add complexity if we had to distinguish whether the package selector is shown while installation or at the running system. That makes testing complicated and is a risk for bugs. Moreover the version column is also useful while installation.
