Clicking on category names does nothing

[John Macdonald]

This seemed to have happened randomly. Also, the highlight of the categories changed from blue to grey at one point. Slingshot version is 0.7+r329-0+pkg15~precise1.

Actually, I think that this happened after installing an app. The app (Kazam) did not appear in the grid view, but it did appear when I searched for it. Restarting slingshot caused the app to appear in the grid view.

This is happening every time I install something.

[Damien (youpla-b)]

editing a .desktop (changing it's category) is enough for me.

My problem:
In Category view: Categories are shown, but selecting a category doesn't make anything, just selects it.

Description: Slingshot App Launcher
 Slingshot is a lightweight app launcher for Pantheon, written in Vala
 and utilizing GTK+ and Cairo.

I can't see witch .desktop file could be the cause for this bug. It's working when selecting to show all aplication-launchers as pages instead of categories, so the problem should be in my opinion somewhere in slingshot-launcher.

Confirmed

I do confirm, expect a fix by tonight, which means it should get in the
updates in a couple of days top
