Bug Description

When opening a details page for some snap that is already installed (for example the Snap Store itself), then selecting another channel from the Channels drop down menu, then selecting a channel from which the snap is installed, the details page now behaves like the snap is not installed, there is a "Install" button, the "Permissions" button disappears etc. It also seems that for some system snaps (for example the GTK2 Common Themes), the "Remove" button appears!

I have a latest Snap Store from latest/stable/ubuntu-20.04 and latest snapd 2.44.3+20.04 from proposed repo.
