When I open a flatpakref with software, I am presented with a blank window with a spinner in the middle (see attached screenshot). There is no explanation of what's happening.

The experience is rather disconcerting, and someone could easily think that something is broken.

Ideally the app name would be the heading in the header bar, and there would be a label below the spinner saying "Loading application details"

This is still the case.
Comment 2 Allan Day 2017-10-23 15:30:50 UTC 
Still happening in 3.26.x.
