New problem with the Solus Software center?

eye4bear

Today when I click on the "home" button on the lefthand menu, the software center returns to the base level of whatever section I am viewing instead of returning to the full home menu which is what I am thinking it has always done in the past. If I am mistaken, please let me know. Not a super important bug if it is one, but still thought I should mention it. I am running a completely updated version of Solus KDE Plasma on an MSI MB running an i3-10100 with 24GB if RAM and an NVIDIA 1050ti graphics card with NVIDIA's drivers.

eye4bear I hit search went back to full home. hit search typed in llvm went back to full home. hit search typed llvm and selected the package. and then hit home and it went back again, full menu. I'm on Mate, cannot replicate.

Hmm, works fine for me on Budgie.
So when you're, say, in the "Installed" category, and have the details view of an installed package open, clicking on "Home" brings you to the "Installed" overview page?

Maybe some theming issue where the back button overlaps with the home button?

Home buttoin worked for me as well in Mate.

I think I understand. Going to, e.g., Desktop > Desktop Software, then clicking (for example again) Settings on the left sidebar, then clicking Home, you will be sent back to the Desktop Software section. For me, clicking Home while browsing packages does nothing.

Either "Home" is not what that button should be called, or it should be doing something different.
In technical terms, I think each page is a GtkStack page, and the buttons on the left are a GtkStackSwitcher, so each button just takes you to a corresponding page in the GtkStack. I don't know without looking if the package browser is a GtkStack within the main GtkStack, but I suspect it is because that would explain this behavior.

I have tried every variation of sequences to screw up the gui software center and I still can't get it where the buttons do the wrong things. But his has happened to me before a handful of times in Budgie but about 99% of the time closing the app and relaunching it (immediately or later) fixed it and I always got the layman's uninformed feeling it had to fix its own indexing or something...
