I've clarified the specification to make explicit that the "Top Rated"
listing should be independent of what is installed.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=diff&rev2=641&rev1=640>
To put it another way, the only listing that should change when you
install something (besides Installed and History, of course) should be
the front page subset of What's New. This is to maximize the number of
new things you are exposed to. There's no point doing this on the
standalone What's New screen, because all that does is reduce the number
of items shown. And doing it on Top Rated would be misleading.
(BTW, please don't mark a bug report Incomplete unless it lacks
requested information on how to reproduce it.)

Title:
Installed programs disappear from “What's new” and “Best rated”
sections after restarting USC
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Ubuntu 12.04, USC 5.2.2.2
I've installed an app which was in “What's new” category. Later on, after
restarting USC, I noticed the app I installed disappeared from “What's new”
list. I was confused because I wanted to review the app. Well, I thought,
probably there was a problem with the app and it was removed from USC. Tough
luck.
After few days I've installed another app from “What's new” list and again
noticed the app is no longer there after restarting USC. This time I thought it
can't be some coincidence. I've tested a little more and it looks like a bug in
USC.
The problem also affects apps listed in “Best rated” and “Recommended”
categories.

whether they are installed ... A separate “Top Rated” screen ...
[should also list items] regardless of whether they are installed."
