Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.10
In the software center, select the "More information" button to view details about an app.
When you click the back arrow to navigate back to the menu, it resets the list, back to the beginning, losing your place

you then have to scroll back down and try remember where you were up to

Confirmed. When the user presses the back button (anywhere) they generally expect to find themselves back where they were before going forward in the first place. When you step through a doorway half way down a hallway, then step back through, you would be rather miffed to find yourself back at the beginning of the hallway rather than outside the door you went through.
