[Bug 681339] Re: If closed and restarted during package removal, old state shown

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Attachment added: "Screencast of the bug"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/681339/+attachment/2407484/+files/out-1.ogv

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: software-center
+ Ubuntu Software Center 4.1.22 (and much earlier)
  
- If a large package (eg. Gnash) is currently in the process of being
- removed (the progress bar is moving) and Software Centre is closed (with
- the "(x)" button in the top-left); after which s-c is restarted
- (Applications->Ubuntu Software Centre) then:
+ 1. Begin removing a large package (eg. Gnash).
+ 2. Quickly close USC, then reopen it.
+ 3. In "All Software" or "Installed", locate the package that is being removed.
  
-   * the old state (Gnash still installed) is shown
-   * no indication is given of the operations underway
+ What happens:
+ 1. A progress bar appears, showing progress of the removal.
+ 3. The package appears without progress bar, and with the "Remove" command sensitive.
+ Screencast: <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/79985579/out-1.ogv>
+ 
+ What should happen:
+ 3. The package appears with progress bar, with the "Remove" command insensitive.
+ 
+ <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#removing>: "The “Remove” button
+ should be made insensitive for that item, and remain insensitive until
+ the removal has been completed or cancelled."
  
  Ideally the state would be synchronised to activity on the ground.

** Changed in: software-center (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged
