Navigation bar button "flashes" when selecting a channel

[Gary Lasker]

Binary package hint: software-center

Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.16.1, Ubuntu Lucid

This is a cosmetic issue that'd be nice to fix. When selecting a channel in the navigation pane (e.g., "Canonical Partners"), the leftmost navigation button in the navigation pane disappears for a moment and then reappears to display the name of the selected channel. Rather than removing and replacing the button for a new channel selection, it should just be updated in-place.

This bug has been fixed by Matthew McGowan in his branch lp:~mmcg069/software-center/pathbar-atk, and this branch has now been merged to trunk. The fix will be included in the next release of software-center.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 1.1.25
