Thanks Matthew! Testing r1105 of that branch, it does work well for the one case of clicking on "Featured" or "What's New" items on the lobby screen.

I'm surprised, though, that it was even possible to fix it for that one case without fixing all the other cases automatically. It seems to me that the code that calculates what elements the pathbutton should have in a software item screen, should be the same code no matter how you navigate to that software item screen (with that one exception I specified of "If the item was navigated to via a department/subsection..."). If that calculation needs to be reimplemented for every method of navigation, contributors implementing future methods of navigation (e.g. going from an application screen directly to the screen for one of its add-ons, or from the History section to the screen for one of the historic items) will be either copying and pasting, or forgetting to implement it at all. Does that make sense, or am I off-base?
