Config Patch UX

Problem Description

The Config Patches screen and flow could be improved:

• the Search box does have the word Search in it, showing what it does, but the text is so dim, I never noticed it. Make that brighter.
• the search box only matches the patch name, and patch ID (not the description, nor the patch contents.) It should at least match the Description.

• the table uses a table format, but not column headers. Rather than repeating ID and Description for each entry like this:

  

  and allowing them to be collapsed, which makes no sense, like this:

  

instead use column headers of "Patch Scope", "Patch Name", "ID", "Description" Then just have one line per patch, with no option to collapse, like this:

• for some reason the whole row links to the patch, except the patch id - even though the patch id has a mouse cursor that indicates it is a clickable link, but it isn't. It should be, like the rest of the row.

When you click into an existing patch, it needs to show the existing patch scope, name and description. Right now those are not visible when looking at the patch. Ideally they would be editable, but they at least need to be visible.

This should be fixed in the latest release

Maybe some kind of tree view will make more sense here
