Bug Description

>lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release: 14.04

>apt-cache policy synaptic
synaptic:
  Installed: 0.81.1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 0.81.1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 0.81.1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty-updates/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.81.1 0
        500 http://mx.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages

While viewing the dependencies of a packe selected for install, the names of the packages previously displayed (now in background) seem to be the same of the unfiltered list. Once the dependencies window is closed, the names get fixed.

For example, if we search in the quick filter for "VLC" and select the main VLC package for install. Same happened with "fretsonfire", the number of the packages stays the same, but their names change to the same as the unfiltered list.

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu better.

When marking a package for installation which opens the dialog to mark additional required changes, the list in the background does indeed revert to the unfiltered list. Reproducible with synaptic 0.81.2 on Ubuntu Utopic too.
