[Pamac 10.0.5] Weird glitch when removing a foreign package

This is a demo of a bug in Pamac (package manager). It can be triggered by removing a foreign package (a package that is not part of a repository defined in /etc/pacman.conf) while looking at the details of that package. After removing a foreign packages, some part of the details glitch out, displaying weird garbage as the package version, the package description and the packager. The first one is the funniest and most interesting one since it changes everytime I attempt to remove the package (which is already removed at this point) or when I try to mark it as explicily installed.

I could reproduce this bug both in a virtual machine and on real hardware, and also on three different desktop environment (KDE Plasma, Cinnamon and GNOME). The result is quite bizarre, funny and awesome to look at.
