Program gives false impressions of no backups

I am new to this program and I am using it on Cinnamon - which is not the intended DE, I think.

Still: having run the program for the first time, the restore component seemed to say I had no backups. For the window that opened looked like this: http://imgur.com/bg3qTp5. Only when I maximised the window, did I see the snapshot entry!

Linux Mint 17.3 x64 Cinnamon. Sbackup 0.11.6-0Ubuntu1 (from Mint's repository).

PS: Discovering that restoration was done by a separate program / UI took a while . .
PPS: There's no indicator of backup progress on Cinnamon.
