"Reinstall Previous Purchases" doesn't cancel search

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

software-center trunk r2415, Ubuntu 11.10 beta

1. At the home screen, do a search, e.g. "sqlite".
2. Choose "File" > "Reinstall Previous Purchases...".

What you see: "No items match “sqlite”"

What you should see: Your complete list of previous purchases, with the search field cleared.

[Michael Vogt (mvo)]

Thanks Gary for your branch for this bug.

Unfortunately its not quite finished as the text entry will still contain the search word. To reproduce:
1. open software-center
2. type foo
3. click on "reinstall-previous-purchases"
4. the list if there and looks good, but the "foo" text is still in the search entry

I prepared a fix for this in lp:~mvo/software-center/lp856559

[Gary Lasker (gary-lasker)]

Oh, weird! It always cleared the entry for me. Must be some state where it did not. Thanks for finding this and thanks for the fix!
