This limitation is true for Leap and TW.
And 13.2, 13.1, 12.3, ... ;-)
I encountered it also partially in 13.2 but it went worse now. Actually in 13.2 sometimes the first bug gives a description. Also leap follows this pattern. If there is more than one bug, you need to recharge the list of bugs with packagekit (I am speaking about the applet in KDE I think with xfce by your description it is exactly the same issue). Try to first reload the list. Then the first patch you choose should give you the description. (With me it works but as said...only once per reload).
You can also raise the PackageKit "ShutdownTimeout" value in /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf. The problem here is that PackageKit (or the zypp backend actually) cannot "load" the update details when it is restarted after it shuts itself down after 15 seconds of inactivity. That's this bug btw: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=855993 Of course if you raise this value, PK will block YaST/zypper for a longer time. That's the reason why it is set to 15 seconds in openSUSE in the first place.
