Binary package hint: software-center
I open Software Center from the Launcher. I put the mouse cursor on the bottom border and drag down to increase the vertical size. When I release the mouse button, the Software Center window simply disappears.
This happens every time I try to start and increase the vertical size of the window. It does not happen when increasing the horizontal size of the window.

Hi Mark, thanks for your report. Is this reproducible every time you try? After this happens, does Software Center relaunch normally? If you have a moment I'd like to ask you to gather some additional info to help us to debug this problem. Please open a terminal window and launch Software Center from there as shown below (note, no 'sudo'). Then, recreate the bug and paste any output in the terminal to this report.
$ software-center
Many thanks!
