Typing in the search box lags the UI

[William Grant]

Binary package hint: software-center

Every time I type a character in the search widget, the UI freezes for a significant fraction of a second. Typing in a text box should not lag!

Bug 634449 is the most severe case of this. If that bug gets fixed, probably this bug will be fixed too.

Hi William! Thanks for your bug report. This seems to be resolved in recent versions of software-center, so I will mark this bug as fixed. There is a flicker on searching which would be nice to get rid of at some stage, but there is no lag in the ui anymore. Please continue to report any bugs you may find in software-center. Thanks again for your help!
