screencast

If I press "Update All", while the updates take place, the update list repeatedly disappears and reappears - see the attached screencast for an example.

It seems that the view is being momentarily replaced with the "downloading new updates" state - the list is replaced by a grey background with "Downloading new updates" in the middle, and the "Restart & Update" button is shown in the header bar.

The overall effect is quite disconcerting.

I think we've fixed this with:

    Do not reload the updates list when updates are in progress
