Muon fails to display all lines in package description

SUMMARY
Muon has two issues with the display of package descriptions:
1. In the main window upper pane it's understandably displayed in one line
only.
If the first line of the description in the package is longer than the width of
the column, it's nicely cut with the last couple of characters fading out.
However, if you select that package, the whole Muon window width is instantly
enlarged to cover the entire line, and sometimes this results in a hugely wide
Muon window going off the right edge of screen.
2. In the lower pane with tabs for Details, Technical Details, Dependencies
etc. where you would expect to see the whole text of description (in addition
to the first line), you see the same behavior as above. Only one (the first)
line is displayed, increasing the main window width to fit in the whole line
instead of wrapping text, and excluding any other lines contained in the
description in the package. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE & OBSERVED RESULTS
1. Open Muon package manager, and go to (select) the package "alsa-utils", for
example.
Description observed in both the upper and lower panes is "Utilities for
configuring and using ALSA" only.
2. Add the source for balena-etcher USB image writer utility with this command:
curl -1sLf 'https://dl.cloudsmith.io/public/balena/etcher/setup.deb.sh' |
distro=ubuntu version=20.04 codename=focal sudo -E bash
3. Go to (select) the package "balena-etcher-electron", observing how the
window is enlarged.

EXPECTED RESULT
1. Muon should not change any window geometry (e.g. width) when the first line
of a package description does not fit the column width in the upper pane or the
main pane width in the lower pane (Details tab).
2. Muon should wrap text to display the package description in the lower pane
(Details tab).
3. Muon should also included the lines below the first line of package
description in the lower pane (Details tab).
