Bug Description
[Test Case]
1. Open gnome-software
2. Press Ctrl+F and type "firefox" or any string that will return results
3. Click any result in the list (snap package or deb, already installed or not, it doesn't matter)
4. Observe that a new page is open showing details about the application
5. Close gnome-software
6. Open gnome-software again
7. Observe that the application is open on the last open page (details view about the application)
8. Click the back button (top-left corner)
Expected result: the application goes back to the list of search results (or perhaps to the home screen)
Current result: nothing happens
Please note that the upstream fix reverts a new behaviour and as a result, when opening again gnome-software at step 6, the application opens on the home screen instead of resuming the last open page. This is consistent with how gnome-software behaves in bionic. So after applying the patch, steps 7 and 8 can be folded into one single step: "Observe that the application is open on the home screen".
[Regression Potential]
Low. This is a cherry-pick of a self-contained trivial upstream commit that is already released in gnome-software 3.30.3 (https:/
As noted above, it does change the behaviour of re-opening the application after closing it, but it reverts it to the behaviour it had in bionic, so I don't think it should be considered a regression.
Re-opening the application after closing it in a number of different situations should be thoroughly exercised to make sure that this doesn't introduce any functional regression.
[Original Description]
Searched for Chromium, installed Chromium (snap version), clicked Launched and used chromium.
Went back to gnome-software and clicked the back button. Nothing happened. Restarted gnome-software and clicked the back button. Nothing happened.
