Boards manager: wrong description shown #1493

Say you have a core with 3 versions: version 1 supports board A, version 2 supports board A and B, version 3 supports boards A, B and C. You have installed version 3. You open boards manager and it lists boards A and B from version 2. You select version 1 from the dropdown: you'll keep on seeing boards A and B.

Sync boards/lib manager so that they show the data from the selected version, not just from the latest

After installing v1.0.1 but before clicking on the Boards Manager entry the information is correct: But then when you click on it you get the 1.0.0 name, boards and Online help link:

EDIT 2017-07-09: Problem still occurs in Arduino IDE 1.8.3
