#62212: If you update a plugin from the details modal, it no longer updates the
main page

 If you visit the "Plugins" page in the admin section and there is a plugin
 update available, the following text will be displayed:

   There is a new version of [the plugin's name] available. View version
 [the plugin's latest version] details or update now.

 If you click the "View version ... details" link, a modal dialog box
 (using an iframe) will be displayed with a button to perform the update.

 Before WordPress 6.5, this button was labeled "Install Update Now".  If
 you clicked the button, the modal would close, the text on the main page
 would change to "Updating..." and then finally this text would change to
 "Updated!" when the update was completed.

 In WordPress 6.5 and later, the button is labeled "Update Now" (and has a
 different appearance).  If you click the button, the modal does not close,
 but the text on the button changes to "Updating..." and then finally
 "Updated!"  If you close the modal, you will see that the main page has
 not changed at all: the plugin still displays the old version with the
 same "There is a new version of [the plugin's name] available..." text.
 You have to manually reload the page in order to see that the plugin has
 been updated to the new version.

 Is this behavior intentional?  Probably the change in the button label and
 appearance was intentional (but that's not very important).  Keeping the
 modal open during the update might be intentional (although I preferred
 the old behavior).  But failing to update the main page seems like a bug,
 or at least a significant regression in functionality compared to earlier
 versions.
