[Bug 1799851] [NEW] Software Boutique window suddenly shows Welcome window and looses all the apps I queued to install

[Robert Pearson]

Public bug reported:

I was selecting apps to install in the Software Boutique, then suddenly
the Boutique Window displayed the welcome window and lost all the apps I
queued for installation.

Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS (just reinstalled when Ubuntu MATE 18.10 went into total meltdown).
AMD 64-bit prosessor

Menu->Administration->Software Boutique

I had actually hoped to install the same software I had installed when I
first installed 18.04.

All work lost.

The code quality is definitely going down hill fast. (even ubuntu-bug -w gets an error message
robert at A88XM-A:~/Desktop$ ubuntu-bug -w
Gtk-Message: 20:41:01.726: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.).
