Description Allan Day 2014-08-14 12:04:51 UTC

When I launch software, it takes a second or two for the landing page to be populated. During that time, the tiles for the recommended application sections change height in a jerky fashion. It's a bit jarring and not very smooth.

It would be better to keep the tiles a fixed size while loading the icons and data.

Kinda mitigated by my PackageKit work to ship some cached metadata on the LiveCD, but agreed.

I've pushed
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=276c6d3a2e5c920cd258b4261778c6da9bbf565d
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=b2399ec56eac57fa452d69cbc3ab2cf54c0cb098
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/commit/?id=1d82963b3081d6db0775c01ffe695fe1d6c6f14b

... which should fix the resizing issues at startup.
