Another note is that we are fetching Descriptions on the fly for the visible rows in this webrev, which can cause some redraw issues when paging down quickly in the package list view.


Can you explain why it causes redraw issues?

It has been quite some time since I've done any gtk development and I'm curious as to the cause.

Cheers,
Well we are fetching the descriptions in the back ground and so only updating when we need to. The redraws might be due to the cpu load that hits us when we do the api call in the back ground, making the UI update somewhat sluggish. I might need to look at throwing away all but the latest description fetch request depending on the speed of scrolling. I will investigate.
