Dear Devs,
I was unable to attach a screenshot to a GitHub issue. Therefore, I am 
describing the following issue here in the list, as it is difficult to 
describe the error without an image.

In QGIS 4, in released versions up to 4.0.3 as well as in today's devel 
branch, the “Information from provider” section in the properties of 
PostgreSQL layers is displayed incorrectly. This happens in the browser 
and also with loaded layers.

Instead of the expected information under Privileges or Spatial Index, a 
list of dots is displayed. Each dot in the list contains exactly one 
character. All characters in a list appear to be SQL commands or 
parameters? The attached screenshot shows a section where the display 
error can be seen.

This occurs on Windows 10, 11, and FreeBSD. In QGIS 3, the properties of 
PostgreSQL layers are displayed correctly.

Best regards,
Rainer
