What happens if you click on a package instead of a group of packages e.g. "Ubuntu Base"?

Next time it happens I will do that and report back here.

Clicking on a package does indeed show details.

But I still feel that clicking anywhere should give some appropriate detail, if only to alleviate worries that something might be wrong. Like, Linux/Ubuntu should be transparent (and not have such a big learning curve).

I guess this means moving this to the wishlist.
