Bug Description

Fresh installation of Xubuntu 14.04 LTS with synaptic package.
Every time a specific search for packages is done in synaptic
(e.g. `fatresize') on selection the old name of the unspecified
(all) list is shown (here with one line `0ad ...') [for more lines
shown, more of the all-list is shown (i.e. 0ad, 0ad-data,
0ad-data-common, ...)].
Only with mouse cursor moved over the appropriate package
line that line is displayed correctly.
This is really disturbing/annoying ...

synaptic is the best installer available, so I hope it will be fixed soon.
Especially as 14.04 is an LTS release.

Many thanks for your help in advance!

Best wishes,
JMB
