Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
s-c 1.1.25
Browse to 'get software' > 'accessories'. Now assume you want to get back to the main screen. There are two 'buttons' with the text 'get software', one in the sidebar and one in the pathbar. The button in the sidebar does not bring you back to the main screen, the button in the pathbar does. This behaviour should be consistent.
There are two design solutions to this:
- make 'get software' in the sidebar bring you to the main screen when you are in the 'get software' section but not in a channel subsection.
- replace the first item of the pathbar with a 'home' icon in all views (including channel views and installed software view, excluding in progress view). This would avoid having one piece of text duplicated in two screen locations and would give users a clearer understanding of the behaviour of the sidebar and pathbar.
The second solution seems a better solution.
