The "Show details" button also hides details

[Gabor Kelemen]

On the Summary window, the Show details button shows the details of the changes, that are to be applied. This part is ok, but after clicking it, it's text is still Show details, which should be Hide details, as clicking it second time hides the details.

I confirm this "Show details" button bug on dapper amd64.

I must say that I find the whole "show details" method in synaptic not very decent. The update notifier gives way more details like the change notes, while the "show details" button in synaptic shows less information by hiding the unchanged packages.
All the extra details it's showing now are the version numbers, what will fit with ease into the normal window after the package name.

Greetings,
Cas

Same on hardy.
BUT, the button is a sate-button: When you click on it, it keeps pressed down. Therefore I think it would be confusing if the text of the button changes. So I would not change the behaviour.

I created a patch.
