software-center 5.1.12, Ubuntu Pangolin
software-center 5.2
When an application is installed with the software-center and you browse for more applications, select another you want to install and click install the software-center gives no exact feedback that it reacted to the input. the only feedback the user gets is the increase of the number of apps that are installing.
reproduce:
0. Remove VMPK and Caribou, if you have either installed.
1. Search for "virtual keyboard".
2. Select VMPK and choose "Install".
3. Select Caribou and choose "Install".
What happens: Ubuntu software center gives absolutely no feedback for a few seconds until the number of the currently installing applications at the top finally increases.
What should happen:
* The summary text changes to "Waiting".
* An indeterminate progress bar appears in the Caribou row.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#software-list-view>: "When an item is being installed, being removed, having its add-ons changed, or queued for any of those tasks, the trailing end of the row should have a progress bar showing progress of the task. If the item is being installed or is having its add-ons changed, it should also have an icon-only cancel button. During this time the secondary text for the row should be the status text for the task, instead of the item’s summary."
Sven, thanks for the report. When you click "Install" for the second application, are you looking at the dedicated screen for the application? Or are you looking at a list showing that application together with others?
