Position in app list not remembered when navigating back from More Info screen

[Jay Ó Broin]

software-center 4.1.23.2, Ubuntu 11.10 beta

1. From the home screen, search for "photo".
2. Scroll through the list of apps, click on one, and press More Info, then press the back button.

What you expected to happen: Be returned to the same position in the list I was at before.
What happened instead: I was returned to the top of the list.

<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#navigation-back-forward>: "Each item in the history should remember its scroll position ... These attributes should persist if you return to the screen using Back/Forward navigation, but not if you navigate to the screen any other way."

See also bug 828887, about the "Installed" screen.

Seems very similar to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/828913

[Ricardo Graça (devius)]

I believe that bug #828913 has a broader description of the problem, and so this should be marked as duplicate of that bug. In that bug report all forward/back actions are reported to exhibit this behaviour.

This bug was fixed in the package software-center - 5.1.10
