Description Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2010-03-19 07:00:16 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.8) Gecko/20100204 SUSE/3.5.8-0.1.1 Firefox/3.5.8

If there are patches available and one has a look at them in the detail view, kupdateapplet should show the description in the lower part of the window. However, the first time one clicks on an item in the list it does not show anything. If one keeps clicking on other items those do show-up. In fact the same item which did not work the first time works after a few clicks.

If one selects an item and the decription is shown, then waits a minute and clicks on another item the same description is shown. If one continues to click on other items it starts to work again.

To me it seems as if there is some communication issue with the backend and thus the description is not loaded the first time and neither after some timeout. Clicking on other items "revives" the communication.

Reproducible: Always

This bug is caused by dbus race conditions. See #578988.
