Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This does not look like a software-center issue to me but more a fundamental problem with X or gtk.

Did you managed to reproduce this error?

No, it hasn't happened anymore. It's fine with me to
get rid of the report.

Hi keestux, thanks for getting back to us! Based on your comment #7, I'll close this bug. If anybody encounters this again with software-center 5.2 or later in current Precise, please be sure to reopen and comment here.

Thanks very much for your help!
