1-click choosing wrong repo out of multiple possibilities
Some repos like KDE:Extra have multiple targets defined per distro, e.g.
KDE:Extra/KDE_Applications_openSUSE_Leap_15.2 vs KDE:Extra/openSUSE_Leap_15.2
software.o.o is choosing the first option for 15.2 one-clicks. Installing anything from KDE:Extra via software.o.o one-clicks is therefore highly likely to break your system.
Example https://software.opensuse.org/package/amarok
Perhaps a heuristic could be added, If there are multiple possibilities choose the one which depends on fewer additional repos. Or at least label the one-clicks correctly with the full repo name to show it is not appropriate for base 15.2.
That's a good point, we are pretty naive in many cases when multiple options are available.
Could we maybe display multiple options when they are available? We can't possibly know what is the correct one from the info we are given
