Description

Using Layer Properties > Style > Save Style, I save a style for a geopackage layer, and I enter the 'Name' and a slightly longer text for the 'Description'. Then, I go into the Load Style dialog for a layer in the same geopackage.

In the 'Styles related to the layer' table list, the 'Name' text and the 'Description' text are both correctly displaying what I entered.

However, in the 'Other styles on the database' table list, the 'Description' column is showing the same text as in the 'Name' column. It should display the text that I entered for 'Description' when I saved the styles.

(I do not know what category to make this report - maybe 'Forms'?)

A slightly off-topic suggestion:

Perhaps for the same dialog, it could be worth considering changing the default value in the the drop-down list at the top, when it is a geopackage layer, to be 'From database' (for the Load Style dialog) or 'In database' (for the Save Style dialog), instead of defaulting to the .qml file option.
