Bug Description

I selected the option to "Reinstall previous purchases" in the File menu. It asked for my username and password, and after this, nothing happened. And now, the list of apps for purchase is empty (it wasn't empty previously). Further attempts to reinstall previous purchases have the same result, and I can't restore the list of apps for purchase to its previous state.

I am no longer having this problem. As there is another user affected, I am not setting this as Fix Release yet, though.

Hi Nicolás, and thank you for your bug report. The issue that the other user is seeing is most likely that which was reported in bug 873917, so I will mark this as a duplicate of that one. Please track bug 873917 for the status of the fix, which should be available in an update soon.

Thanks very much, your help is much appreciated!
