Binary package hint: software-center

Ubuntu Software Center 2.1.18, Ubuntu Maverick

Based on test case sc-016 <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#custom-list>:

1. From the top level "Get Software" screen, in the search field enter "gobby,gnome-orca,9base" (without quotes).
2. Type a comma: "gobby,gnome-orca,9base,"

What happens: The list contents remain exactly the same, but the whole pane flickers -- both the three items, and the "Install 1 Item" bar at the bottom.

What should happen: Neither the items nor the action bar should flicker.

The same happens for a normal search: Even when the results do not change, they all flicker, and so does any "Show N technical items" action bar.
