Ubuntu Software Center wrong application page open when launching from search-feature

[optimaldc]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Ubuntu Software Center and search for any software, eg. "VLC".
2. Once you see your search results, close the Software Center.
3. Use Applications-feature / Win-key to open up search.
4. Search for another software, eg. "GIMP"
5. Search shows that GIMP can be found from Ubuntu Software Center. Press enter to launch the Software Center.
6. At this point one would expect to land to GIMP's Ubuntu Software Center -page or possibly to a pre-filled "GIMP" search results -page. Instead, you are taken to the previous search result or previous application's page (eg. "VLC").

Just a little something that could improve the user experience, especially for users not so familiar with computers. Thank you for making a great piece of software :)

Thank you for your bug report. Can you trigger it every time? Here those steps open the GIMP details page. Can you maybe make a screencast of the issue?

Hi,

I have tried replicating this using various different tricks but I cannot seem to replicate the original issue. Sorry for the trouble, this can be closed.

Hi,

Accidentally replied to the wrong email...

I cannot replicate this even with using different tricks / scenarios, so it's a false positive. Sorry for the trouble.
