Description William Jon McCann 2014-11-05 13:39:53 UTC
I removed an app from the Installed software page. For an instant the entire list of software disappeared. This is pretty scary for the user. It might seem like they made a mistake and removed everything instead of the one app they wanted to.

I think we might want to go the other direction and make the removal process calmer and don't even remove the item in question. Perhaps we can just kind of fade it out or something and allow the action to be reversed - at least until Software is closed.

I remember this bug and I haven't seen it for a while.
